Hi,
My daughter is three years old.
A week ago we noticed a swelling area
under her left ear. It was the size of big grape.
It was soft. After two days it got bigger.
It sort of spreaded a bit towards shoulder.
Then it stopped. Now it's the size of an egg.
Three days ago we saw our pediatrician.
He subscribed antibiotics. He thinks it's some kind of infection.
Todays is the second day we
take antibiotics but the swelling does not go away.
It's the same size.
Other than that she's fine.
She eats,drinks,plays as usually.
I'm really scared.
And why the doctor can't send us to an expert or to the hospital?
They have equipment. She might need X-Ray or something.
We need to get the right diagnosis.
