My baby got a lump on his neck. Brought him to KK hospital twice in a month just to check on what is the lump.
The first time i brought him there, the lump is less then 1cm in size. The doctor assured me that it's normal and many people have it too. He too, said that he have one on his neck. He said that it was due to the medicine that my son took. He said that there will often be a swell or lump on the neck after a course of antibiotics or runny nose medicine. Upon hearing this, i was quite relieved. The doc said that no medication was needed unless the swell got bigger, which doesn't happen often. So we went to the registration counter to take an appointment with the specialist. It was scheduled on the 6 feb 2007.
3 weeks later, which is this week, we found the swell got double bigger, and it's also quite obvious. we were worried sick. So we brought him to the KK hospital once again. The doc did a blood test and chest x-ray(i dunno y she ordered for a chest x-ray instead of a neck x ray as the lump was on the neck), and again said that he was ok except for a minor lung infection. This time she prescribed antibiotics for a week and a bottle of fever medicine, in case my boy have a fever. We took the medicine and then went home.
Last night, when my hubby reached home after his work, he went over to my baby's bed and felt the lump. He said that there are 2 of them now. I got the shock of my life. I counld't even sleep. Toss and turn on the bed till about 4a.m in the morning before i slowly doze off. I woke up at 7.20am for work. Just 3 hours of sleep. Luckily I'm still young and robust, if not i dun think i am able to take this kind of stress.
I dunno what to do now. I tot of bringing him to see another specialist from those private clinic. but he have not finished his course of antibiotics. I'm afraid that i might do him more harm then good if i do that. So now i guess i can only wait for him to finish the antibiotics and see if the lump will go off or not. If still not then i guess I'll bring him to let another doc check on him or i can go back to kk and demand that they do a full check up on him... Any better opinion? Pls tag me...
