Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Since, your child has pain abdomen for 5 months possibility of chronic infection like tuberculosis is very much, also renal stones or urinary tract infection can also cause chronic pain abdomen. Swollen lymph nodes points to infective cause. If I was treating you i would have liked to do some investigations like CBC with ESR, mountoux test, urine routine microscopy and culture, ultrasound abdomen and X ray KUB. I suggest you to do the above investigations as soon as possible as they are necessary for diagnosis.
I hope this has helped you. If you have any more questions, i will be happy to help you.
I find this answer helpful
