Hi my daughter was sick over the summer with bad virus infection, and her lymph nodes in abdomen were swollen, along with the spleen and liver. She has an appointment for the follow up ultra sound and blood work in December, but she complained about the abdominal pain today, and when i asked her to show me where hurts, she pointed to the spleen location. At this moment she is fine. Should I be concerned?
Hi...it could be a gastritis or a splenic pain. But this can occur in viral illness too. If the kid is otherwise active do not worry. But I suggest that she needs to work up for infectious mononucleosis and other chronic viral illnesses. Regards -
