My 12-year-old daughter has a 1.5cm lump under her chin that has been present for 2-3 months, with a slight reduction in size over the last 2 weeks. The lump is firm and movable, with no pain or difficulties in swallowing. Her blood tests showed normal red and white cell counts, but platelets were at 33.

My brother has been in critical condition since February 6th with multiple skull fractures, a trach tube, and a feeding tube.
