hi , your 1st line says that your child had only cervical lymphadenopathy and loss of appetite. yes these two are there in infectious mononucleosis but you not not mentioned about other symptoms like fever and sore throat. your other values are suggestive of infectious mononucleosis .the lymph nodes can be there as long as 6months , but keep following up your doctor .
i hope this satisfies you.
