How should pediatric mesenteric lymphadenitis be treated best?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but then it came back. How should I best treat mesenteric lymphadenitis in children?

Doctor's answer:

The lymph nodes of the small intestine in children can be treated with oral cefixime and probiotics for symptomatic therapy. Drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, and pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Mesenteric lymphadenitis in children is a viral infectious disease, often secondary to respiratory and intestinal infections. It is important to differentiate it from acute appendicitis or enteritis. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods can be used for treatment, with specific prescriptions determined by the doctor.
