Patient's question:
My daughter is over five years old. Every morning when she goes to kindergarten, she has stomach pain. The doctor said it's due to swollen lymph nodes, and the blood test indicated a viral infection.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
The doctor said no injections were needed, and the medication was to take one box each. However, the child did not improve.
Help needed:
I would like to ask how to proceed.
Doctor's answer:
Swollen lymph nodes mainly have two causes: 1. Lymphadenitis, 2. Lymphatic tuberculosis. You can go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If it is lymphadenitis, taking antiviral and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications will help it improve. If it is lymphatic tuberculosis, taking tuberculosis-targeted medications will be necessary for improvement.Swollen lymph nodes in children are usually caused by lymphitis, often triggered by streptococcus. Treatment should first suppress inflammation to prevent it from spreading, follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotics, and pay attention to diet by avoiding spicy and greasy foods, drinking more water, and getting adequate rest.
