Patient's question:
I've been having stomach problems and feeling unwell, and recently I found out I have lymphadenitis. How can I alleviate mesenteric lymphadenitis?Doctor's answer:
If adults experience recurrent mesenteric lymphadenitis, it is necessary to determine the nature of the inflammation, whether it is caused by tuberculosis infection or bacterial transmission. It is recommended to undergo a tuberculin skin test and tuberculosis antibody test. If the results are strongly positive, consider using anti-tuberculosis medication for relief. After half a month of treatment, a follow-up abdominal CT scan should be performed to assess whether the lymph nodes have improved or disappeared. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, the choice of medication is crucial.
