Leg Pain, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Fever. Taken Tylenol, Amoxil. Blood Work Shows Elevated Platelets, Low WBC
Son has been sick for a good month. Leg pain, swollen lymph nodes, fever (as high as 105 untreated and 104 with tylenol) First time was DXed with ear infection and possible pneumonia (sats were 94%) and was treated with Biaxin. Second time was DXed with nothing - just fever - treated with amoxil. Now a day after Amoxil is over - fever is back to 103. Blood work showed slightly elevated platelets, lowish WBC, basically showed an anemic kid. Very worried.
