my daughter she will be 4y/o on aug. 5th        she has had swollen lymph nodes  since she was  1 1/2 y/o her previous ped. told me that this was normal if she has been fighting off a infection and they should go away within 3 months  and order no tests    4 months later the lymphnodes were still swollen and he still said they were still due to an infection but  she wasn't showing any signs of an infrection this whole time not even a cold
  i kept bring it up with her ped. and his  p. asistant  everytime i took her in and they kept saying same thing but they would never check anywhere else  and half the time wouldn't even check  them at all she started with 2   now  her being almost 4 we moved and  she has a new ped. when i told them of the lumps they checked her she now has them in her armpits  groin  and like 4 more in her neck for a total of  6 in her neck and 10 or 12  in all  this ped tested her for  TB  it was neg.;  cat scratch fever   neg; i'm really worried   i don't know what it could be she is  40 3/4" and 32 lbs    what should the doctor be doing he now wants to wait to see  what happens but i think we have been waiting long enough should i ask them to do something further or leave it a lone     and if  i should  request them to do something  what should i say

Take your daughter to a speciliast such as a hematogligist who might do blood work up differently than your pediactirc doctor.  If she has that many more swollen lymp nodes I would as for a specialist .  wish you well for your daughter

Is your daughter's new physician going to do a biopsy ? I think that should be the next step.
