Hudson has always had lots of issues with his lymph node on the right side of his neck enlarging when he gets sick. Even the smallest cold will cause it to get larger. However, this particular time we had had no illnesses, no cold, no allergies, and no sore throat but his lymph node was getting bigger each day. I sent his pediatrician an email and he responded that it was not a problem and it was just the lymph node having trouble draining. A few days went on and we went from these pictures....
To these. I started to get more concerned when he was acting a little lethargic and his lymph node was extremely sore to the touch. I emailed his Dr. again and sent these pictures this time. He responded that he wanted to see him that day. So, again, no fever and no other symptoms. Yet, when they tested him for strep it came back positive. So strange. He has never had strep and neither have any of us. Thankfully, we got on some antibiotics and it started going down within a couple of days. I had never heard of a kid having strep with zero other symptoms...especially not even a sore throat!
