Mesenteric Lymph Nodes - #18599

A few weeks ago, I started experiencing severe stomach pain, especially around my lower abdomen. At first, I thought it was just indigestion, but the pain kept getting worse, and I even had mild fever and nausea. After several doctor visits and tests, the reports showed swollen mesenteric lymph nodes. The doctor mentioned that this condition is common in kids but can happen to adults too, especially after an infection. He gave me antibiotics and painkillers, but I don’t feel fully recovered. Doctor, I want to understand what Ayurveda says about mesenteric lymph nodes. Are they related to any specific dosha imbalance? Is there a natural way to reduce the swelling and pain without relying on heavy medications? One of my biggest concerns is that my digestion has completely changed since this started. I feel bloated all the time, and my appetite has reduced. Some days, I even experience loose stools or constipation. Could this be related to an imbalance in pitta or vata dosha? If so, what kind of Ayurvedic diet should I follow to heal my intestines and bring my digestion back to normal? I also read that mesenteric lymphadenitis can be triggered by bacterial or viral infections. If that’s the case, how can I boost my immunity naturally to prevent such infections in the future? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or home remedies that help in reducing inflammation in the lymph nodes and strengthening the digestive system? Another thing I want to ask is whether stress and lifestyle choices play a role in this condition. I have a stressful job, and my eating habits are not the best—I sometimes eat late at night and consume a lot of spicy food. Could this have contributed to the inflammation of my mesenteric lymph nodes? If yes, what kind of lifestyle modifications does Ayurveda recommend to keep the gut and lymphatic system healthy? Also, I noticed that since I got this problem, my energy levels have been extremely low, and I feel tired all the time. Does Ayurveda suggest any herbal tonics or Rasayanas that can help in regaining strength and vitality? Finally, I want to avoid future occurrences of mesenteric lymph node swelling. What are the best Ayurvedic preventive measures to keep the lymphatic system strong and prevent digestive infections? Doctor, I’d really appreciate your advice on how to naturally reduce mesenteric lymph node inflammation, improve digestion, and strengthen my immunity. Looking forward to your Ayurvedic recommendations.
