Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node In Jaw Area
My 2 year old daughter recently had an I&D done on an abscessed lymph node on her jaw. It came up for no apprent reason. They are doing a biopsy on the contents. She has a follow up appt next week but I don t want to wait to ask a question. She has a bruise come up on her ulna side of her and it doubled in size in less than 24 hours and has pea size knot in it that can be move around. What could cause that? I m worried that she may have lymphoma because her lymph node doubled in less than 24 hours and had to be drained within a week. And no antibiotics helped at all.

dear user, thanks for your query.
form you history its suggest that your child has lymaphadenopathy in neck region. it may be due to bacterial, viral or mycobactirial infection or may be due to leukemia or lymphoma.
i suggest you to wait for biopsy report, because only by this report proper diagnosis can be made.
