Constipation in my 2 year old son
My son was suffering with constipation from past 3 weeks and after using medication and proper diet still the problem was exists. So my pediac has suggested few tests, and we have ultrasound abdominal tests.
The result of this test says--Multiple Lymphnodes noted in the abdomen largest 18* 10
So is this the main culprit for causing constipation in my child? Request you guys to help me understand on this report
Thanks in Advance
Constipation is common in toddlers during the period of toilet training or entry into playschool/nursery. Please continue to follow the diet and medication as suggested by your pediatrician.
Lymph nodes in abdomen are an important organ which form the firewall for the intestines. They release cells and substances which protect against infection. Enlarged lymph nodes in abdomen in children can be seen due to a current or recent stomach infection or respiratory infection, may be viral or bacterial.
Enlarged lymph nodes are not usually the culprit for constipation.
Next Steps
Kindly discuss with your pediatrician for further understanding.
