Types and treatment of mesenteric lymphadenopathy in children

What should we do if children have enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes? I want to know more about what is going on. In fact, this is normal. We all want our children to be healthy. Do you know what to do if children have enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes? What is going on? Let the experts introduce it to you and understand the specific situation!

1. The most obvious symptom of mesenteric lymphadenopathy is abdominal pain.

Mesenteric lymphadenitis is common in children and is characterized by unexplained paroxysmal abdominal pain around the navel, fever, vomiting, and repeated attacks.

There are three types:

First, after the inflammation and swelling occur, no treatment is needed and it will heal on its own after a period of time. This is the result of a person with strong immunity.

Second, after inflammation and swelling, you can get better by intravenous antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, or taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. This is for people with stronger immunity.

Third, after the inflammation and swelling occur, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are given intravenously, or antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are taken, but it never gets better. This indicates that your immunity is not strong enough, or the lymphadenitis is severe. Western medicine cannot solve the problem, so you should look for Chinese medicine. There is no other medicine except Western medicine and Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can be fully considered. Use Chinese herbal pills that can dissipate blood stasis, resolve toxins and reduce swelling to treat lumps, bumps and inflammations. If you find the right one, it won't be difficult. The author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine and has personally witnessed a large number of typical cases of lymphadenitis and lymphadenitis that were cured by traditional Chinese medicine, which verifies the uniqueness of our country's traditional Chinese medicine. Mesenteric lymphadenitis is easier to treat than lymphadenitis at other sites.

2. Inspection

After onset, white blood cell count may be normal or slightly increased. Pathological manifestations include lymph node hyperplasia, edema, and congestion, but culture is often negative. Both bowel and urinary routine tests were normal. Ultrasound examination showed thickening of the abdominal mesentery and multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes of varying sizes, mostly located in the right lower abdomen. They were smooth and intact in appearance, with clear boundaries between the cortex and medulla, and were hypoechoic. The echoes inside were uniform, and a small amount of fluid dark area was visible in the abdominal cavity. It can also differentiate acute appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ovarian disease.

3. Treatment

If the diagnosis has been confirmed, conservative treatment can be used. Generally, abdominal pain can be significantly improved and gradually recovered through fasting, intravenous infusion and antibiotics, and no surgical treatment is required. However, if symptoms do not improve after the above treatment, or if it is difficult to distinguish from acute appendicitis, surgical exploration is recommended. If an abscess forms or symptoms of peritonitis occur, surgical drainage is performed for those caused by Salmonella. Some children may develop intussusception and should be carefully observed. The most common gastrointestinal disease caused by Salmonella infection is gastroenteritis, and there are also reports of acute mesenteric lymphadenitis. Mesenteric lymphadenitis caused by Salmonella infection is different from viral lymphadenitis and is more common in children or adolescents. Lymph nodes invaded by bacteria often show acute inflammatory reactions, bleeding and necrosis in the lymph nodes, and Salmonella can be isolated in the lymph nodes. Conservative treatment should be performed first, and if an abscess is formed or symptoms of peritonitis appear, surgical drainage should be performed.
