My daughter was diagnosed with a UTI two weeks ago. 3 days of antibiotics cleared up the infection but she's been left with Mesenteric Adenitis which is apparently abdominal lymph node swelling. Its on her right side and she's been in and out of hospital as it mimics appendicitis. They did ultrasound, MRI, blood tests, urine tests - no signs of infection, abdomen looks fine, kidneys all ok etc.
They told us it was really painful but it should start to settle down and just told her to take paracetemols and ibuprofen. Her pain was about 5.5 out of 10. We've been back and forward to docs and hospitals as she is not improving.
Cut to today, two weeks on, she's burping up mouthfuls of sick and her pain has crept up to a 6. Shes walking around with her hand clamped to her side.
We are going back to doctors - I just wondered if anybody has experience of this and if its normal to take this long and if anybody knew of a way to help her. This is horrendous and I now feel like I'm annoying doctors and getting in the way.
