Six and half year old boy, Swelling of the area in front of the ear, really bad pain for 3 days couldn t eat or move his neck . Had blood work done, white blood cell slightly elevated so they said it was probably viral. Since then he s gotten a cough and swollen glands you can see in his neck and swelling of the salivory glands still. Today he has a huge bruise on his thigh that is about 4 inches long and three wide, one with white colored skin in the center the other slightly darker, and to push on it it does not hurt. He doesn t recall falling.
