Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, drug allergy, tumor metastasis and other reasons.
1. Upper respiratory tract infection: enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes are mostly related to upper respiratory tract infection. Lymph nodes are important immune organs of the human body, and after upper respiratory tract infection, the virus can reach the mesenteric lymph nodes along the lymphatic vessels, thus causing enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes.
2. Drug allergy: if the patient has some drug allergy, it may also cause the symptoms of mesenteric lymph node enlargement, usually after stopping the drug, it can gradually return to normal.

When patients find that mesenteric lymph node enlargement is also seen in other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, to clarify the cause, timely treatment, to avoid the occurrence of adverse situations.
