My DD suffered from this and did for a few years. Whenever she was rundown we got it, particularly when her tonsils flared up. The pain was in a similar place to early appendicitis and I was sure that was what it was but she was checked a number of times and swollen glands were diagnosed. She's 7 now and we haven't had it for a while.
Lots of rest seemed to help, coupled with painkillers and antibiotics for the underlying infection, if there was one.

It is called adenitis. It is similar to when the glands in your neck swell up due to a throat infection. It is often due to a virus and is very painful. Often associated with a viral D and V bug I think.

Mesenteric Adenitis - just found it online - yes this sounds exactly right,they did think it could of been appendicitus,just giving calpol 6+ as nurofen is harsher on the tummy,i feel bloody awful too - my poor girl - shes fallen asleep on the sofa and as she is 9 they is no way i can lift her ,such a shame to wake her

My db had this but it was misdiagnosed and ended up having an unnecessary appendectomy( sp) .
