Question
Four days ago, my daughter began experiencing abdominal pain symptoms and was diagnosed with mesenteric lymphadenitis after hospital examination. Blood and urine tests showed slight inflammation, with other indicators normal. Today, she has developed a fever and a slight cough, but her spirits are good, and her bowel movements and diet are normal. How should I treat it?
Answer
In the case of mesenteric lymphadenitis, it is usually caused by an infectious factor exacerbation and is commonly seen in respiratory tract infections, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, fever, and abdominal pain. It is recommended to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment to improve the symptoms of inflammation and infection. A repeat blood test should be conducted; if the white blood cell count is elevated, antibiotic treatment may be considered. The condition is not severe at present, and it is not advisable to use antibiotics blindly. Treatment should be based on the doctor’s advice.
