Thank you both for expressing the symptoms your daughter is having and for responding to get to the bottom of this quickly.
I have had a series of similar symptoms, an outbreak of thrush in my mouth and esophagus, night and day sweats for months where my entire hair is soaked, fatigue and weakness, and a 12 lb. weight loss in 4 months. Believe me, I'm not trying to lose weight. I've had a CT scan, endoscopy, cultures of differest kinds and blood tests that have shown nothing, only a UTI. Yet, I awoke at 3:00 am with the thought that I feel as if I'm dying.
Because of your information I am going to now press my physicians to find out what's going on. I see an ENT at St. Jude's for the first visit on August 10. Thank you, Gail B.

Gail, I realize you just saw your ENT Thursday but I'm hoping that visit went well and your physicians can address your concerns. I'm not sure where or what type of hospital St. Jude's is - other than the Children's Hospital in Memphis but I'll encourage you to seek out a second or third or forth opinion as needed. Head and Neck issues are often difficult to diagnose and you need an expert opinion you trust before moving on to decide on treatment. I'm a Mayo Head & Neck patient for almost 7 years and a practicing RN for almost 50 years so I have grown to understand both sides of diagnosis and treatment. All the best
