anyone else heard of swollen tummy glands ?

[candyfluff]

my dd been ill for 4 days now with tummy pain temp breathlessness and vomiting,been to the hospital and they have put it down to this
ive never heard of it have any of you ?
and im feeling it too aswell today so must be some sort of bug ??

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) .

dd was sick again in the night and messed herself this morning - looks like its dragging on - im still feeling ill too - im surprised ive not been sick yet ,im so neauseous too.
little ds is complaining of tummy ache now - hopefully he hasnt got it too

welshdeb - thats awful ,surely when they opened her up they could it was healthy ?
anyone got any idea on how long it wil go on for ?
