Patient's question:
There are several lymph nodes near the navel, measuring about 1.00.4 in size. I've had abdominal pain for 5 days and have been receiving intravenous ceftriaxone for 4 days, but the pain still persists. An ultrasound examination did not reveal any issues with the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys, or appendix. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, mesenteric lymphadenitis is most common in children and is characterized by recurrent episodes of abdominal pain around the navel, fever, vomiting, and repeated recurrence, often with unclear factors or etiology.Suggestions: If the swelling is severe and long-term anti-inflammatory treatment does not heal, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment may be necessary: first, to prevent further worsening of the condition, and second, to allow the body to restore its function and enhance its immune and antibacterial effects, thereby strengthening the constitution. TCM can be fully considered. Use herbal pills that promote blood circulation, resolve stagnation, detoxify, and reduce swelling to treat the lumps, bumps, and inflammation.
