Dr. Chen Dongfeng
Abdominal pain in children is not necessarily due to mesenteric lymphadenitis. Mesenteric lymphadenitis can cause abdominal pain accompanied by symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. However, abdominal pain in children may also result from poor eating habits, a cold abdomen, or other reasons. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
