Pain and swelling in a 6 year old child?

Was your daughter unsupervised before the symptoms appeared? Can she remember falling while she was playing or running?

Had she eaten anything 'new'? Does she have any (food) allergies? Does she have a fever?

I would take her temperature and check her thoroughly for a rash or bite marks.

If the swelling or pain gets any worse i would go to the emergency room.

If she isn't uncomfortable, doesn't have a fever or other symptoms i would limit her activity and be sure to keep the doctor appointment on Monday.

If you are this concerned, you really should take her in now, like to the e.r.. Did this doctor say how she could have bruised her wrist? Maybe you should find a diff. doctor. A six year old should be able to tell you if it was from and injury, did she say she hurt her hand or knee doing something? The only way to know is to find a good thorough doc.

Check for a bite mark. She might have been bitten. If not, the doctor will probably run blood test to determine the cause of her inflammation.

babies many times have extra effective tonsils than adults. Mine have consistently been extra effective than maximum human beings's, besides the undeniable fact that it in easy terms bothers me while i'm unwell. yet something could be annoying them while he swollows. If he eats too plenty salt or perhaps pretty spiced nutrition could be inflicting that without bothering him. Even very sugary ingredients can do this. particularly if he eats sugary issues previously he is going to mattress. additionally, gentle hydration. in some situations, eating soda isn't the terrific element for hydration. If he beverages lots of sodas. Make him replace a pair of them with water. And, make helpful he would not eat to plenty sugar previously he is going to mattress, and make helpful he brushes his teeth at nighttime, or the plaque on his teeth will additionally worsen his tonsils. desire I helped somewhat. :-)

Dont wait...take her to the ER! Only there can tests be done asap. Your dr will probably send you to a specialist and that will take time. If you go to the ER you can get answers fast. They will take blood tests and will not let you leave until they know something.

how is your daughter doing now. when I saw the history I also worry some how.

i think it could be a thyroid problem. some thyroid patients have swelling like this. im not sure have her checked up. but while you are at the doctors, ask weather it could be a thyroid problem, they'll probably have her tested or somthing... good luck i'll pray for her well being

go see a different doctor who will spend some time with you and not just say take three aspirins and call me in the morning...

If I were you then I would call the hospital where you live and ask to talk to the on-call pediatrician. If it were my daughter I wouldn't wait all weekend.
