What Causes Swelling In The Neck, Fever And Sweating In A Child?
My grandson, age 13 is diabetic and is experiencing swelling on both sides of his neck. He has had blood work and a mono test, but he doctors have not been able to diagnose his condition. About a week ago he had a fever and hid Dad reported to me he was sweating so profusely he could have rung out his pajamas.
