What Is Mesenteric Adenitis?
6. Fever
The most common cause of mesenteric adenitis is an infection of some variety of pathogen, usually a virus. When there is an infection present, there will often also be a fever, and underlying causes of mesenteric adenitis are no exception. Thus, a fever is a symptom that many people with mesenteric adenitis will experience.
A fever is actually beneficial to us because it helps to slow down pathogens, or even kill them outright in some cases. It is usually just fine to leave a fever run as it is, but vulnerable patients should be monitored. Medication is available that will help reduce a high fever, while damp clothes on a forehead will also help bring the patient’s temperature down.
