Yung anak ko po kasi my bukol sa leeg. Pinacheck up ko po nag negative po ha TB. Next po na test sa knya is ultrasound, pero before po nun pinatake na po xa ng pampatunaw na Cloxacillin sodium. Lumiit po bukol nya leeg sa right neck po. So pag ultrasound po sa kanya 'No cyst found'. Tapos enlarged lymph nodes. So nag test po ulit ng biopsy pero hindi po naperform kasi po the lymph nodes is too small for FNAB (Fine needle Aspiration Biopsy). Yun po ung note ng pathology. Kaya po pinacontinue po ulit ung Cloxacillin sa kanya. Pano po kaya malalaman kung cancerous po ung bukol nya o hindi? Tapos safe po ba na pinacontinue lang ung cloxacillin sa kanya?

Magandang araw po!

Ang mga kulani sa mga bata ay medyo normal po kaya wag po kayong masyadong kabahan lalo na at nagrespond naman po sa antibiotic.

Tungkol po sa tanong ninyo kung pano malalaman kung cancerous ang isang bukol, ilan po sa pwede ninyong tingnan ay kung patuloy lang ba itong lumalaki, masakit ba ito, or pag hinawakan ito ay hindi ito kayang galawgalawin. Pag ganun po yung kulani mas magiisip po kaming mga doctor na masamang klase ng bukol po ang meron kayo.

Salamat po!
