Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Pain And Swollen Lymph Nodes
My daughter is 8 and has been having sever stomach pains. I brought there to the er last week and they said she was severely constipated and put her on laxatives everyday(miralax) now it does cause her to go to the bathroom more but she is still having pains . Also a few weeks ago I noticed a swollen lymph node on the left side of her neck and it s still there. She says it isn t painful but just hurts a little if I touch it. Not sure if both things are Related but should I bring her back to doctors?

Hi, there!
Swollen lymph node on the left side of her neck may be the first recognized presumptive evidence of stomach cancer, even though it's rare on children.
So, bring her back to doctors and discuss about this.
Hope I'm wrong, and your daughter wont have a dangerous illness.
