You ve mentioned about a condition called mesentric adenopathy. This is common in children of pre adolescent group. Lymph glands in her tummy gets enlarged due to viral infections and they cause uneasiness/ tummy ache. This happens intermittently. Often resolves on its own with growing age when her lymphatic growth reaches a nadir. If there is any blood in her stools or weight loss like symptoms, she will need further work up.
