Question: We have a worry about our toddler 3y8mo old girl. She has had
swollen lymph nodes now for nearly 2 months.
We went to show them to the doctors and they said straight away that the tonsils are way too enlarged and that the lymph nodes are directly connected with this. I have attached the answer of the
ultrasound which i translated with google translate, hopefully it makes sense.
Today we also visited
pediatrician and she confirmed that she would rather have the tonsils removed. They are not swollen but enlarged very much. Since we also did a
blood test and this showed some non normal figures, she referred us to the haematolgist which totally freaked us out. She said that this is not about cancer, rather this is about to finally calming us down.
When we did this CBC, the girls has got another cold, this time with no
fever, just some cough and running nose with dark yellow phlegm.
Please advise what do the results indicate and should we worry about cancer (
leukemia or
lymphoma or sth like that).

Please also advise if this OK to remove the tonsils or should they be rather kept? If we keep them, could it mean that the lymph nodes remain swollen every time she catches gold? In this part of the world, there is 8-9 months of crappy weather...
Would taking to the warmer climate for a week or two help?
