Swollen lymph nodes is an immune disease that occurs frequently in people of all ages. Children are at high risk of swollen lymph nodes, especially those under 15 years old.

So what should we do about the child’s stomach?

Mesenteric lymphadenopathy is a common disease in children. It is generally believed to be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, bloodstream infection of streptococci or viruses (i.e. after a cold), and is also believed to be related to intestinal inflammation and parasitic diseases. It is more common in the terminal ileum (clinical manifestations include right lower abdominal and periumbilical pain, etc.). The lymph nodes are multiple and congested and swollen. There may be a small amount of inflammatory exudate in the abdominal cavity. This disease is prone to occur in children and young adults, but young children and middle-aged and elderly people can also get the disease. After anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic treatment (commonly known as anti-inflammatory and analgesic, treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor) the condition will improve and heal! General precautions: Strengthen the child's physique, prevent colds, and do not eat raw, cold, unhygienic and indigestible foods! Go to the hospital for treatment in time if you are sick
