my son is 20 months old - he had a second cranial vault reconstruction the end of nov 2011. after the surgery the lymph nodes in the right side of his neck were swollen - the dr said that was normal .... its three and a half months out of surgery and it seems like the left side is starting to have swollen lymph nodes and on the right side above his pelvic bone is a swollen node as well.

problem is the surgery was done in the states - and now we are living in new Zealand so he has seen a completely different Dr + we are supposed to wait 6 months till he sees a specialist...

I emailed the Dr who did the surgery about it and she seemed unconcerned , but i feel i have a right to worry . please any thoughts on this?

my little girl just turned 9 months old and has the most horrible temper, and i was wondering if that s normal at her age .... if i take anything away from her, if if i offer her food and she isn't hungry , if i try to hold her and she wants on the floor, if i leave her with anyone, if i try to get her to take a nap when she isn't sleepy, even if i turn on the tv and she wants it off.... anything that isn't her way she screams and flails around like shes desperate and will hit things with her hands or if im holding her she puts her arms in the air and throws her whole body around ... what can i do to help her work out this behavior? and is it normal this early on to have temper tantrums? when shes happy she is wonderful to be around and smiles and laughs...

ok i have a 6 week old, i live in iquitos peru and i have taken her to the doctor... she has had problems pooping since she was 2 weeks old and it is getting worse, she strains so hard constantally and cries because of it all the time. when it comes out though it is soft and normal. the doctor said she had lazy intestines the first time, i took her back yesterday and she was so swollen he was really worried, so he tried to get her to poop using a thermometer and she wouldnt so he ended up giving her an enema... he said she had something wrong with her intestines and then sent her home with gas medicine .

it helps with gas but this morning she is straining just as hard and is swollen up again. i have given her glycerin suppositorys i have given her pedialyte, i walk with her all the time, i rub her tummy with oil, i move her legs i have tried a q-tip , the pharmacy gave me medicine to help her go and it didnt work..i dont know what to do.i am thinking about taking her to the states

ok i was a little constipated, not real bad but a little, so i finnaly pooped this morning and there was blood on the paper and thick mucus... i thought it was weird but i thought made it was my period or something but i have been having really bad stomach cramps and having a lot of orange mucas comming out now

i just moved to peru and i dont know if it could be a parasite or some kind of infection or just from being constipated.... i cant go to a doctor yet so i was wondering what to do / what it could be....

i have a 4 week old baby i have been giving her formula and breast feeding her some ... the reason ihave been giving her formula is when she was born she would not nurse and would sleep through all her feedings if i let her , she hardly even wakes up for her bottle... she is a little more alert now but still sleeps like a log ... but i really want to breast feed her, i still have milk but i dont know how to switch her over and i dont think i have enough milk for that to be all she has since i havent been consistentwith nurseing... what do i do?

i have a three week old baby , she cant seem to poop she isent constipated because she has been like this for about a week and when she did poop (once ) it was soft

she cries and strains till she wears herself out... i live in peru so its hard for me to know if the medical care is always te best...anyways i took her to a doctor he said she had lazy intestines and just give her some extra water... which i have and it hasent seemed to help any. she just pees buckets...

i did buy her some glycerine suppositorys and i gave her one and iworked the first time but i tried again last night and it didnt help her at all.

she has been straining and crying ive tried rubbing her tummy and moving her legs but she seems to be in a lot of pain .... anything i can do?
