This painful condition can mimic appendicitis or a condition in which part of the intestine slides into another part of the intestine (intussusception). Unlike appendicitis or intussusception, mesenteric lymphadenitis is seldom serious and usually clears up on its own. Lifestyle and home remedies get plenty of rest. Adequate rest can help your child recover. Drink fluids. Liquids help prevent dehydration from fever, vomiting and diarrhea. Apply moist heat. A warm, moist washcloth applied to the abdomen can help ease discomfort. If it still progresses I can write a prescription for antibiotics.
