My son, son is 3 yrs old, is constantly getting swollen glands, with fever, aches, and lethargic. This has been happening about once every 4-6 weeks. The last time we took him to the pediatrician she said that it was just viral infections that kids get a lot. None of my other children (I have five total) every get sick. I will add that he is a twin and was born at 33 weeks. If anyone could help me find I would greatly appreciate it.

anything more helpful than telling me to get a second opinion.

Pediatricians do know a lot.
Parents worry a lot too, but many
kids are like yours.
If you are really concerned, however,
you can ALWAYS go get a second opinion.
Sometimes it pays off (for your mental well
being also).
EDIT:
I understand the frustration of wanting something
more than "get a second opinion" but any responsible
advice from Yahoo Answers would need to include
that. How can you really trust your kids to an answer
you get from here. I could be a 13 year old kid who
half watched a 15 minutes film in biology.

maybe strep throat? i remember that's how i would feel a lot when i was little. i don't think being 33 weeks has anything to do about it. good luck

Get a second opinion. Doctors are not infalliable.
