I have a 28 momth old with dravets, she has had swollen glands and fever x 4 days. stated on zithromax yesterday at 125 mg. and wakes up to eat a small amount and falls right back to sleep. Also is having episodes of small amounts of emesis occasionally. At this age could it be mono?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

The most likely place for a toddler to have swollen glands(enlarged lymph nodes) is in the neck. How high is her temperature?

At her age mono causes an illness like a cold- cough, runny nose, fever. Not with vomiting and not with swollen glands in the neck.

She probably has a viral infection due to a virus different from the one causing mono.

With her fever, sleeping, and vomiting make sure that your daughter gets enough fluids so she does not become dehydrated.

When crying, she should make tears, have moist mouth and tongue, and wet about the same number of diapers that she does when well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
