The cause of mesenteric lymphadenitis in children is still unclear, it is mostly considered to be caused by viral and bacterial infections, and also related to respiratory and intestinal infections, which mainly include abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and other symptoms, and mostly accompanied by complications such as water and electrolyte disorders.
1. Abdominal pain: viruses and bacteria invade the mesenteric lymph nodes, resulting in abdominal pain. Abdominal pain is the earliest symptom, with paroxysmal attacks, mostly hidden pain or cramping pain in the right lower abdomen.
2. Fever: viral, bacterial and other pathogenic microbial infections can trigger the body’s inflammatory response, which will lead to fever.
3. Vomiting: children have a lot of lymph nodes in the ileum and colon region, and inflammation of lymph nodes in this region will affect the normal function of the intestinal tract, which will lead to vomiting symptoms.
4. Hydroelectrolyte disorders: Because children often have vomiting and eat little, complications such as water and electrolyte disorders are more common.
These are the main clinical symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenitis in children, and the main treatment is to treat the cause and symptoms. Parents are advised to bring their children to the doctor in time for targeted treatment by specialized doctors.
