What are the symptoms of lymphadenitis in children, and how is it treated?

Pediatric lymphadenitis of the mesentery, also known as mesenteric lymphadenitis, commonly presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. The abdominal pain may be dull or cramp-like and the location may vary. Treatment mainly includes: 1. General treatment: Pay attention to dietary adjustments, avoid irritating foods, ensure appropriate rest and warmth, and apply heat compresses or abdominal massage to relieve symptoms. 2. Medication therapy: Select antibiotics such as amoxicillin or ceftazidime according to the cause of the condition, and use heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as Shuanghuanglian or Pudilan oral liquid as adjunctive treatment. 3. Surgical treatment: Surgery may be required in severe cases, such as when complications like intra-abdominal abscesses occur or other acute abdominal conditions cannot be ruled out.
