Is It Concerning If There Is Pea Sized Superclavicular Node In Children?
My 11yo daughter had mono last April, an appendectomy in Dec. and is still experiencing fatigue. We went to physical on Wed. (had 3 vaccines) and her WBC is lower than last time and they want to recheck in 3 weeks. She is at 8% for her weight, fairly tall and active. Over the weekend, a pea sized superclavicular node appeared and is very tender. They said to wait and not come in. Should we be seen for this?

Hi...this could be a viral associated lymphadenopathy. But at the same time, I will explain you the danger signs when you need to get back to your doctor. Sudden increase in the size of the node, suddenly becoming extremely painful, persistent fever, loss of appetite, sudden and significant weight loss and bone pains. If these are there, I suggest you see the doctor immediately.
