I have lost all respect for so many of my medical colleagues. They have lost sight of evidence-based medicine and "first do no harm". In other circumstances, we would never deliver an intervention to a patient, particularly a child, when the benefit is virtually zero and there is the potential for side effects - even if small. Would I give bp med to someone with normal bp and risk side effects for no benefit? Of course not, that would be dumb. In this case it is apparently acceptable. We don't give the elderly HPV vaccine because it is unlikely to help them - so we don't do it. We don't give healthy teens pneumonia vaccines for the same reason.

I agree with others, ignore your pediatrician and get him tested, the labcorp test seems to be the best.
