Question 6

my 3 1/2 yr. old with cystic fibrosis has cold/ allergy symptoms...but unusually grumpy and purple color under eyes...allergies or cf exacerbation?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell!: Good morning, 
in a child with cystic fibrosis cold and allergy symptoms are as common with other children. The difference as you are aware, is the difficulty in deciding if there is any infection of the lungs along with symptoms of allergy. If there is no fever, and the secretions are color-less, and if the child does not look sick it is likely that it is only due to allergy.

Question 7

3 yr old has a big swollen lymph node on one side of neck that has been there formonths. blood work normal.purple circles under eyes?possibilities?

Accepted Answer

How big?: Although enlarge glands are not uncommon among young children, if the node is much larger than a buck- shot size , ask your doctor if he needs a biopsy even if the blood work was normal. The dark circles under the eyes suggests that he may have nasal obstruction often caused by allergies.

Question 10

what causes : rapid appearance of brown spots on nose, under eyes, forehead. feet cold and turn purple, sore breasts, acid reflux, popping joints?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You have too many conditions happening at the same time to be able to address them here, without having a physical examination done by your doctor. It sounds like it's time to be seen for your annual physical, and to address these concerns with her/him. After the exam, s/he will know what other tests to order. You may want to have your vitamin d3, and micronutrient level checked as well.
