Dr. Barton Butterbaugh answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

mesenteric adenitis: It's possible after an upper respiratory viral infection you could develop viral lymphadenitis around the cecum near the appendix. This can be painful but it does go away because it's self-limited. I would definitely go to your internist or family physician for An exam tomorrow
