There is no requirement for the same. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy occurs, especially in children with some junk food intake (chips, snacks, biscuits), indicating some infection in the stomach. Some pain reliever medications can be prescribe. He will come to normal soon after. For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me.
