Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history that your son has severe pain in abdomen, has to double up, the WBC count is 20,000 and the CT scan has shown lymphoid inflammation.
There can be primary inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes or secondary to some pathology.
In children the pharyngitis or tonsillitis infection goes into intestines and thereby to the lymph nodes.
Please go for a broad based antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications and see the result.
Occasionally FNAC or biopsy may be needed.
