12 Year Old Daughter...mono Posted: 05-30-05 14:58pm
I don't know...
My daughters lymph node on the left side
of her neck swelled up to softball size.
It all started with an incredibly dry,
painful sore throat fri.Nite. By sat.
Morning her fever was up to 39.8 around
104.
Stayed that way till wednesday night. Dr.
Gave her nothing, said it was a virus,
after an emergency trip to the hospital
wed. Night to get her voltarin when her
groin glands started to swell, her fever
broke, tested positive for mono on fiday.
Told the Dr. Already on monday to do a
monospot and culture for strep. Strep
came back neg, chest x-ray revealed
bronchitis, although that is not overly
detectable on film!
These dr's!!!!
She is feeling o.K now, 9 days later after
3 days antibiotics.
I'm just having a hard time understanding
such a high, perpetual fever from
bronchitis or mono for so many days.
What do you think?
