What are the symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenitis?

Patient's question:

A relative has been experiencing stomach pain recently. I would like to know the symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenitis. Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Appendicitis is actually a complication, commonly seen in acute or chronic enteritis. Additionally, children with gastroenteritis may also develop lymphadenitis of the intestines. The main symptom is abdominal pain, but the stool is usually normal. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can be taken for treatment for 1-2 weeks, such as cephalosporin drugs like cefixime and levofloxacin. It is important not to eat spicy or cold foods. While undergoing treatment, it is essential to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient rest will help you recover more quickly from the illness.
