No home test: I'm not aware of a home medical test for hodgkin's lymphoma but some of the symptoms can be night sweats, lymph node enlargement, weight loss, shortness of breath.

None: The standard test to determine if someone has hodgkin lymphoma is a biopsy. The most common symptom is a lump in the lymph node areas of the body. As lymph node swelling can come from many causes, a biopsy is the only way to know for certain.

Well and sick care: Establishing a relationship with a primary care provider for your baby is one of the most important things you can do to ensure his/her good health. Your medical provider will see them for sick visits, but also for well visits where they can monitor growth and nutrition, provide the recommended vaccinations and provide anticipatory guidance.
