What Causes Excessive Drooling In A Child Diagnosed With Wilm S Tumor?

My 2 year old Grandaughter who is a triplet has had white spots on the back of her throat, excessive drooling, very foul odor and her speech doesn t sound clear. We took her to the Dr and they did do a throat culture for strep but it came back today and it was negative. Today she has no energy and just lays on the floor or couch but no fever. She has an appointment to go back to the Dr today to be seen. I m really concerned since she was diagnosed with a WILMS tumor a year ago yesterday and went through a very extensive surgery and also radiation and chemo. She has been in remission since Jan. but I m just very concerned! Thank you for any input you can give!

Hi.....as the streptococcal culture is negative you can be assured that it is not bacterial infection. The other possibility is that it could be a viral.

THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT RELATED TO WILMS TUMOUR.
