Patient's question:
I am Niuniu's dad. My baby is almost 4 years old. Recently, he occasionally complains of stomach pain in the morning. He has been feeling older lately. The hospital examination revealed swollen intestinal lymph nodes. Is it serious? What medication is more appropriate? 5 yearsDoctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the local condition you provided, it is recommended to have your child drink more water and avoid getting overheated. Oral antibiotics can be taken for treatment. The ultrasound examination showed enlargement of the mesenteric lymph nodes, which should be diagnosed as acute mesenteric lymphadenitis. The cause is often viral infection, commonly occurring in winter and spring, frequently developing during the course of acute upper respiratory tract infection or following intestinal inflammation. It is more common in children under 7 years old. The course of the disease generally does not exceed one week. Anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended.
