Hello,
Mesenteric lymph nodes can become enlarged following a viral illness or a gastrointestinal infection and are often a reactive finding in children. An ultrasound showing mesenteric lymph nodes of the mentioned size, without any other abnormal findings, is not by itself conclusive of a specific disease and should always be interpreted along with the child’s symptoms and clinical examination.
However, if your child has persistent or worsening abdominal pain, recurrent vomiting, fever, weight loss, poor appetite or any other concerning symptoms, further evaluation by a paediatrician is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
