My 2 year old has a vp shunt, and keeps getting severe headaches, especially on waking. she will not eat and pain killers(ie codiene, ibruprofen, paracetamol) dont seem to work. after a while of being upright she seems to improve. appetite returns tho not fully and headache goes or lessons. she had a ct scan the other day but appears normal. she also has a swollen lymph node right next to her shunt. Any advice would be gratefully recieved. thanks. P.s what other tests can be done, and how do i get the docs to listen, i am pretty sure it is her shunt. :(
