Mesenteric adenitis

[sam1513]

Can any one give advice on this MA? My d is 4, she's now over a week without really eating, burning belly and back just before she starts writhing in pain and saying she's going to be sick. My husband and I thought it was all over as yesterday she seemed ok and ate some food, today emotional, nothing to eat and then sick this eve. She then said her tummy pain had gone and is now asleep...( but off how long).

I have read old threads on this and aloe Vera juice has cropped up, does it work?

Get her back to the gp ASAP for a review

I had this as a teenager. it was agony. get her back to go. poor little thing.

Agree go back to the GP. You need to be sure the diagnosis is correct. Ds really suffered with mesenteric adenitis (including several misdiagnosis at first) until he was given what I think was a muscle relaxant. Whatever the medicine was it made a huge difference.

My DS also had a lot of mesenteric adenitis. No medicine ever seemed to help :( He had it whenever he had a cold type virus (the other kids had sore throats - his went to his stomach). It never lasted longer than a normal cold though.

I think if it is over a week I would go back to the gp for checks (but that is likely to mean blood tests which is not nice with such young kids).

We found Buscopan helped DS (was prescribed for him) as it does relax the stomach muscles. It is a horrible condition :(
