Diagnosed With SLE. Multiple Lumps Around Neck. Told It Is Inflamed Lymph Nodules. When Is Testing Required?
Hi. My son was diagnosed with SLE a few years ago ( he is five now) and has multiple pea sized and larger bumps all around his neck and some reaching just above his collarbone. I believe these are inflamed lymph nodules and I understand that they can increase in size and number on occassion from viruses or illness but how do you know when further testing is needed?
