What Causes Swollen Armpits, Stomach Pain And Purple Circles Under The Eyes?

my daughter is almost 12, normal height & weight. today I picked her up from school (6th grade) for a stomachache & general poor feeling. I have noticed lately that her armpits are swollen again. She says they are commonly tender. there is no redness of the skin & no fever, nor recent accident. since infancy she has on again, off again had swollen armpits & stomacheaches, as well as purple circles often under her eyes (apparantly hereditary on her father s side). she has always had difficulty getting to sleep. I have asked her Doctor over the years at well child checks if I need to be concerned, investigate further, etc. but as she is normally healthy otherwise, the Doctor responded she did not see a need. I am wondering if she has food sensitivities. what do you suggest?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since, she is having repeated problem of her armpit getting swollen, probably due to axillary lymph node enlargement, it is better to investigate (CBC, x-ray chest, and USG abdomen).

Look for any infection on arm, chest, and forearm. Look if she is having frequent itching over palms. Ask for precipitating cause for stomach ache,for example, after eating chocolates, candies, street foods, sauce, pickles, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
