Hi. I am a woman that has a son that is nine years old and he is complaining of high temperature and underarm pain. When I measured his temperature, it was a little elevated but not too much. I felt under his arms and I felt swollen nodes. I will take him to the doctor tomorrow to see what is wrong with him. Do you think it is something serious. I can not stop worrying, and he is not that ill so I shall not take him to the ER. Any thoughts?
It sound like your son has a small infection. Nothing that a bit of antibiotics can't solve. Doctor will check his glands, just to be certain. He could take Tylenol for that fever. I think that it is nothing serious, but you shall know more when you take him to the doctor. Don't worry too much and be well.
