Question

What should I do if a child has an enlarged stomach? (2009)

Answer

Hello, the possibility of mesenteric lymphadenitis is high, which is common in children. It is recommended to take some antibiotics, such as cefaclor, pay attention to diet, avoid eating difficult-to-digest foods, observe the situation, and reduce intake of cold and greasy foods. A light diet should be considered. Generally, as children grow older, the issue tends to resolve itself.
