Nope, same deal, no mention of keeping a diary. I was essentially told that he'd probably grow out of it, not to worry if he wasnt losing weight. Based on your matrix, I would define it as mild now. He recovers fast and the issues were really confined to early/mid 2022.

Maybe he was under some kind of stress at that time , you never know with young kids. But it's good that it's resolved now. The enlarged lymph nodes , in my opinion , need to be investigated, most probably it's due to a viral or bacterial infection, and there's no harm in repeating tests so if antibiotics are needed , they can be given at the right time.
The ER doc and a random physician's assistant both advised against the CT (radiation unnecessary) and MRI (would require sedation) because it would be invasive and likely unnecessary given the results of the blood panel we got this past August. He already had the swollen neck lymph node by that point, but it was dismissed as normal. No one spoke of an abdominal ultrasound at all.He hasn't had a vomiting episode in a while, which I'm grateful for, but he is a very finicky eater. Often says he's not hungry or full, but I try not to stress because his weight and height have been increasing on the right trajectory and he's at the 70th percentile.The tone I perceive from doctors is that I'm overreacting because this is my "baby" and there's nothing wrong with him, but it's just such a stark contrast to his older brother. I think I'm pretty laid back overall as a mom, but this has me questioning myself. Thanks for the two cents.
You are welcome. Usually, CVS is triggered by a stressor or a food . Has your pedi advised you to keep a diary to identify it ?
