Can children's intestinal lymph nodes swell without treatment?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can swollen lymph nodes in children's intestines be left untreated?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be a localized infection, which refers to the pathogen invading the body and establishing itself in a specific location, growing and reproducing, and producing toxic substances. It is recommended to start antibiotic treatment via intravenous administration as early as possible.
Neutrophils primarily participate in the body's immune defense. When foreign organisms invade the body, neutrophils engage in defense through actions such as phagocytosis. At this time, neutrophil levels will rise. If there is a significant increase, it is commonly associated with infection factors.
