Hi,
Your child having abdominal pain complaint. So it could be a gastrointestinal infection. In such infection, mesenteric lymph nodes can be enlarged as a reactive inflammation. Rule out typhoid by blood culture.
Your child can be prescribed antibiotic and Antacid course. After a few days you can repeat ultrasonography and your enlarged lymph nodes will mostly be resolved.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
