A member asked:
My daughter age seven months has swelling in upper portion of the head and doctor has advised blood culture, lft, kft, cbc & serum electrolytes.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling?: Is it on soft spot? Has imaging studies ( head ultra sound or skull x-ray) done? Is it new or was she born with it? What does it feel like? ( sort or bony hard) does it bother her? Is it tender? I'm afraid, without knowing the answer to all these questions, it's hard to make a judgement call as to what tests to order.
