Hi
Welcome to HCM
As per your son history , he is suffering from mild fever / Pain abdomen and his ESR is still 95mm/hr ( raised) and wbc 10,000 ( normal)
But his USG abdomen mesentric lymphnode is 21X 10 mm is suggestive for ABDOMINAL TUBERCULOSIS. review with these report to pediatrician or Tuberculosis Doctor for treatment . Duration of treatment is 6 to 9 months according to weight and Only First line drugs. Second line drugs are indicate only after gene expert test.
Thanks
