Thanks for your question on HCM.
In pediatric age group infection is the most common cause for lymphnode enlargement.
So in my opinion your son is suffering from gastrointestinal infection.
But rectal ulcers and alternate bowel habits are something we should investigate.
Children do not show rectal ulcers commonly.
So I advice you to get done CT abdomen and colonoscopy to reach the diagnosis.
