Question
The child experiences abdominal pain around the umbilicus once a day, lasting about 30 minutes to an hour. Treatment for mesenteric lymphadenitis has not shown significant improvement. The child has undergone tests (EEG, blood, urine, stool) with no issues found. How should we handle this situation?
Answer
The child may have mesenteric lymphadenitis, and an MRI is recommended for a clear diagnosis. Treatment is not complicated and is often related to respiratory or intestinal infections, possibly caused by viruses or bacteria. It is suggested to provide intravenous fluid therapy and appropriate antibiotics, with a course of at least one week. Maintain a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and actively prevent fever. Wishing the child a healthy growth!
