Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Rubbery, Enlarged Lymph Nodes With Headaches And Sore Throat?
My ten year old daughter has chains of lymph nodes down both sides of her neck and into the area behind her clavicle bone. The nodes are the size of marbles and are hard and rubbery.she also has regular headaches as well as intermentant sore throat. She often has very little appetite and tires easily. Her neck is sore and swollen on the outside tonight and her throat is sore. She has an appointment with a ENT next week and has been on antibiotics. The nodes have been this large or maybe a bit smaller for months. Should I insist on her being seen tomorrow?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Elastic and rubbery lymph nodes indicate Hodgkins disease. Need biopsy of the lymph node and histopathological examination. Better consult surgeon/pediatrician. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
