Seeking Homeopathic or Other Natural Doctor in Tampa

Dear A.,
I was curious if the doctors gave you a reason for the swelling. I just wanted to make sure they had ruled out the bad stuff like lymphoma (cancer)? I can only assume your son has had a lot of throat or respiratory infections. I know of a good accupuncture doctor named Dr. Yangchong Ou (pronounced "O") in the USF area. He is open weekends (at least Saturdays) and is in practice with wife. They both are great and tel# ###-###-####. You could also try natural anti-inflamatories like fish oils, flax oil, and tumeric. Good luck.

I use Kelly Wilson, from Natures Essentials for homeopathy.

Her number is ###-###-####.

If you call, tell her I recommended her.

I am not a Dr. but what comes to mind, is Cat Scratch Disease that is a bacteria usually carried by cats. The cat does not have to bite the person to get it. Your cat can be tested (can't give you a cost but not cheap). Cat's usually don't show any signs. Cat can go antibiotics for treatment.

I don't know of any homeopathic treatment, but conventional treatment that is effective is tetracycline. I'm not sure if that drug can be used in a child this young. Cipro may be effective as well (similar antibiotic used in cats)

A., A.!
(I am not a doctor) My understanding of lymph nodes is that they swell up usually in response to some kind of infection. They are like the body's detergent, keeping things clean. They are also somewhat localized, like the bathroom crew does not do the kitchen, unless things are really messed up.
Could be a response to bad teeth, to inflamed tonsils (does he have a sore throat?) ear infection (smelly ears?) or he could have developed ALLERGIES.
yOU HAVE A DOG, A CAT, AND A SNAKE? There are 3 possible culprits right there.
I suggest you think back what changed 5 months ago...?
Something could have precipitated the situation.
Did you move? Did he change schools, did you get a new pet? Did you change detergents/soaps? Did you buy a new set of pots or dishes?
Although I was very lucky with holistic doctors in COlorado and Oregon, I gave them up after consulting with a few in Florida. I all fairness, I have to say there is an interesting clinic in Clearwater that was helpful with my allergies a while back.
It is called The Wellness Center - Dr. Paul Maas, DO is their current director, 301 Turner St - Clearwater, FL ###-###-####.
Holistic treatments can be expensive, too.
There are some other serious illnesses with glands.
My suggestion: CONSULT WITH A PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST.
