See MD: Unable to diagnose based on this. But he should definitely be seeing a physician for this if not already doing so.

Antibiotics: Adenopathy is enlargement of lymph nodes. If he ad a wound and a lymph node close tot he wound enlarged it might be infected. It is important he is examined by his physician because he might need antibiotics. A frequent cause of adenpathy in pediatrics is cat scratch disease. If he had contact with cats request a test for cat scratch disease.

For many months now, I've had a non-stop tenderness with mild-to-moderate pain across my left ankle. There was no known injury or cause. It has worsened and is slightly swollen. It hurts to the touch, even during sleep, and also any time I flex it. My parents think it might be tendon-related. I'm wondering what sort of healthcare provider should I seek out to have this looked at? I feel a bit paranoid b/c i worry about blood clots (I have Factor V Leiden-heterogeneous) tenderness in ankle?
