Question
Patient Male: The child had been in good health until 7 months ago. This time, the condition was as follows: Since early February 2011, there has been a slight cough, not severe, with intervals between episodes. On February 12th, the child suddenly became hoarse with a lot of phlegm and was taken to the hospital for treatment. After receiving infusion (intravenous infusion) on February 18th, the hoarseness persisted. On February 19th, after two days of hospital treatment with throat spray, the child suddenly developed a lump on the right side of the neck. After being admitted to Guangxi District Hospital and undergoing an ultrasound, it showed a hypoechoic surface with smooth edges, measuring 4.5x2.5 cm with a dot-like blood flow. The doctor initially diagnosed it as inflammation and administered anti-inflammatory injections and throat spray. After six days, on February 26th, a follow-up ultrasound revealed that the lump had grown to 5.5x2 cm with ultra-low echo and dot-like blood flow. At home, palpation revealed a series of marks.
Answer
It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment. In addition to medication for pediatric bone tumors, the patient should consult experts for advice and maintain communication with the doctor. The patient also needs to pay attention to nursing care, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to ensure a good treatment outcome.
