What Is Mesenteric Adenitis?
10. Treatment
The treatment for mesenteric adenitis will depend on the underlying cause of the condition, and the severity of the patient’s symptoms. In many cases, the underlying cause will only be mild and the patient will be able to make a full recovery with limited treatment, if any.
Antibiotics or antiviral medication may be used to help treat the more severe cases. Medications like ibuprofen can help to relieve pain, and aspirin should be avoided in children because of the risk of severe reactions. More intensive treatment will be required if the condition is caused by something like lymphoma.
