Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever With Nausea And Swollen Lymph Node?
My daughter is 7. She has had a low grade fever on and off for 3 months; along with nausea, one swollen lymph node in the front neck, and has lost weight. 56 lbs to now 48 lbs. She is self limiting her food intake, and no longer look at any sweets which is unusual for her. Low grade fever comes and goes throughout the day. Slightly elevated lymphatic numbers in blood, and wbc. Doctor doesn t seem too concerned but we are growing more concerned everyday. Fairly extensive blood work has been completed recently. Under Dr. Orders a colonoscopy and endoscopy was done at onset three months ago.
Hi...I understand your concerns and definitely a loss of 8lbs in very unusual without any reason being found till now. It would have been very helpful to know what extensive blood work up has been completed. With minimum history i have in hand and weight loss and taking her age and gender into consideration, I put forth these possibilities - 1. Inflammatory bowel disease - either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. 2. Lymphoreticular malignancy. 3. Chronic viral illness. 4. Chronic infection - especially TB. 5. Anorexia Nervosa. I suggest you see your doctor with the following tips and get the needful done. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
