Greetings
Isolated mesenteric lymphadenopathy is generally not dangerous and is a very common, benign finding in a 5-year-old child experiencing recurrent abdominal pain. The lymph nodes are part of her active immune system, and their size of 15x4 mm appears consistent with a reactive response to everyday minor bugs or her recent chickenpox infection. Because her pain resolves rapidly on its own and she is growing normally, this is highly reassuring. However, please double-check her physical scan reports and blood values to confirm there are no signs of a more complex issue. You should consult a pediatrician if she develops persistent fever, severe vomiting, or changes in her bowel habits. Alternative causes for her brief stomach pains could simply be childhood constipation, gas, or mild food intolerances
