my son 13 years old was complaining often for vomitting and stomach pain, so i consult a local doctor who advised me to carry CT scan of abdomen, the result of CT scan is:-    "CT scan findings are sugegstive of hypodense lymphnodes in mesentery in the right iliac fossa."what is the desease  to my son and what treatment should he take, also suggest doctor specialisation to whome i may consult ?
Hi....please do not worry. What the CT scan suggests and what your kid is having is mesenteric lymphadenitis. This is not a disease by itself. Any minor stomach infection can cause this enlargement of lymph nodes. I suggest you see your pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist for this. Treatment includes only painkillers at the most. The nodes will regress by themselves. Regards -
