Big Lymph Nodes
Leo Leonidas MD, FAAP
WARNING, WARNING, WARNING; This section is for my Tufts University medical students. If you are a "worrier" type or a very anxious parent, please talk to your clinician about your child's problem or symptoms, rather than reading this differential diagnosis. There is a mother in my practice who after reading about Tics in the Internet became extremely worried and vowed not to visit the Internet again and read about her sons health problem. Sometimes too much information is not good for our emotional health if we happen to be a worrier.
