Sorry I know you said UK only, but I just had to say that unfortunately you would likely have incurred the same situation here in the states!. Dr's just never think or maybe just don't want to believe that Swollen Lymph nodes can sometimes be something far more serious!. Especially when you're young, the more serious options are automatically dismissed they usually just send us home with Antibiotics!.So many Lymphoma patients I've met while in treatment were misdiagnosed, sometimes for over a year, before they received proper attention!. Although Lymphoma is so rare I guess sometimes you can't blame the Dr!.
Either way I really hope your little girl does only have an infection of sorts and that the next appointment brings nothing but happy news!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
