My son is 8 yrs old…
For the past year he’s had sore legs on and off and I thought they were growing pains as I had them quite bad at his age.
But they became more regularly so I decided to take him to the doctors about it.
They did a range of movements with him and made us get a full count blood test.
We did all this and they rung about a week or so later asking us to do another blood test which we did and they rung us to get a follow up appointment.
When we went to this doctors visit we were told mu sons eosinophils ( which are infection fighting white blood cells) are high.
First blood test they were 1.2
Second blood test 1.5
The Doctor asked a lot of questions like has he got asthma, allergy etc
He has nothing like that, we got sent to get a xray, stool sample and another blood test.
Xray was normal
Stool sample ruled out parasite infection
And his full blood count eosinophils are now 2.3
We are now being referred to a specialist, but from what I understand this could take awhile.
Other then sore legs, he seems completely healthy, not off his food, no temps etc…
Do you think it’s ok to wait for a specialist?
What’s your opinion on what’s going on?
Have you ever dealt with something like this with your kids?
