My daughter, 2, needs to have a CT scan on the side of her neck wheren a little lump is. The wife and I are nervous because she has to be sedated. She is so tiny that we are worried that the medicine is going to do something to her. We have considered not going thru with the exam but then at the same time feel that if we do nothing..something could be wrong. We have had numerous pediatric doctors feel the lump and come up with the same response.."a lymph node" or "keep your eye on it and see if it gets bigger" or "it will go away"....well it hasn't. It has been there since birth as I have told them.
So, I am now in a dilema. Have the scan done or just let it go. Any advice?
