What Causes Night Sweats And Fatigue In My Daughter?
My daughter is away at school and has been having night sweats, bad headache, fever , slightly swollen eyelids and fatigue, she went to the health center and had a WBC 5.9, lymph 17 and atypical lymphocytes 45 although she has no sore throat and her mono spot was negative they said she still could have mono. I am concerned about something more serious like leukemia or hodgkins should I be worried. She is to return on thursday for follow up labs.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes you should be concerned. Atypical lymphocytes in an young person has to be investigated.
You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
Request for second opinion of a Hematologist.
