What to do if a child has lymph nodes in the abdomen

Children have lymph nodes in their stomachs, which often cause abdominal pain. The main reason is infection, such as viral infection. Children get infected after a cold. Respiratory tract infection, etc. may all cause swollen lymph nodes. Don't worry too much at this time. Just get treatment in time. Also, pay attention to diet adjustment. When symptoms appear, do not eat raw, cold or irritating foods.

Abdominal pain after a cold - swollen intestinal lymph nodes

Some children usually experience abdominal pain after a cold, which is especially worse after meals and drinking milk. At this time, the mother should take the child to the doctor and do an abdominal ultrasound to rule out other diseases. Mothers who are diagnosed with mesenteric lymphadenopathy should not be anxious or overly nervous. The cause of abdominal pain is enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes, which causes small intestine spasm.

The children at this time are young, and their gastrointestinal function and immune system are not yet fully developed, so enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes are a very common symptom. If the diagnosis is confirmed by color ultrasound, the mother will have to pay attention to the child's daily life and diet.

1. Do not eat fish, shrimp, spicy, raw or cold food in the short term.

2. Eat less meat to avoid adding extra burden to the already exhausted stomach and intestines, which may lead to acute gastroenteritis.

3. Clove appetite patches are sold everywhere. Applying them on the navel has a certain effect in relieving abdominal pain and small intestinal spasms.

4. The mother can go to the local Class-A tertiary Chinese medicine hospital to get some Chinese herbal decoctions for her child. Chinese medicine is very effective in treating intestinal lymphadenopathy. Generally, one dose of medicine should be taken for 3 days. For babies who are difficult to feed, you can feed them less each time and multiple times a day. For babies who can accept it, 3 spoons can be taken three times a day. With the use of navel stickers, abdominal pain will usually be relieved after 1 week.

5. Get more rest, go to bed early, and sleep more. Avoid strenuous exercise or overwork. Babies who go to kindergarten can rest at home for a week.

6. Mothers should not repeatedly ask the child if it hurts. Treat the child calmly to avoid giving the child psychological hints that the child will have stomachaches when he doesn't want to do something.

Improve children's immunity and avoid swollen lymph nodes

For children who suffer from recurrent colds, it is necessary to improve their immunity in a reasonable and scientific way. Old people usually believe that letting children eat more and eat more meat is good for their health.

So everything should be done in moderation, especially eating light and small meals at night.

Then many false advertisements of health products also mislead mothers to a certain extent.

Example 1: Protein powder improves immunity. Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body, but it is not suitable for children with a pure yang body.

Example 2: Bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum and human colostrum are completely different. Bovine colostrum only participates in the immune system of the baby cow. When taken by the baby human, it only passes through the digestive system transiently, so it cannot play a role in improving immunity.

Then Pidomod oral solution and Polytong tablets are currently the safer medicines for improving the immunity of young children. Mothers can choose according to their own situation.

Of course, a reasonable and healthy diet, drinking plenty of boiled water, proper exercise, regular work and rest time, and a relaxed family life are the hard truths to ensure your baby's immunity.
