What is the cause of lymphadenitis in the child's abdomen?

Lymphadenitis in the abdomen of children is usually caused by infection, and treatment requires anti-infection treatment for the source of infection. Common causes include bacterial or viral infections, such as gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infections, etc. Treatment methods include antibiotics, antiviral drugs and symptomatic treatment.

1. Infection is the main cause of lymphadenitis in children. Bacterial infections such as Salmonella and E. coli, and viral infections such as rotavirus and norovirus, can all lead to lymphadenitis. The source of infection is mostly from the gastrointestinal tract or respiratory tract, and a clear diagnosis is required through blood routine and stool examination.

2. Lymphadenitis caused by bacterial infection requires antibiotic treatment. Commonly used drugs include amoxicillin, cephalosporin antibiotics, etc., and sensitive drugs should be selected according to the results of bacterial culture. Viral infection requires the use of antiviral drugs, such as oseltamivir, ribavirin, etc., in combination with symptomatic treatment.

3. Symptomatic treatment includes fever reduction, analgesia, and fluid rehydration. For fever, acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be used to reduce fever. For abdominal pain, antispasmodics such as belladonna tablets can be used. For dehydration, oral rehydration salts or intravenous rehydration are required. It is recommended to eat light and easy-to-digest food and avoid greasy and spicy food.

4. Preventing infection is the key to reducing the occurrence of lymphadenitis. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and avoid contact with sources of infection. Ensure a balanced diet to enhance immunity. Have regular physical examinations to promptly detect and treat potential sources of infection.

Children's abdominal lymphadenitis is mostly caused by infection. Treatment requires anti-infection and symptomatic treatment of the source of infection. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing infection and maintaining good living habits and eating habits to help reduce the occurrence of the disease.
