Is Zantac The Right Medicine For Duodenitis?
my 12 year old son had a ct scan done today looking to see why he has stomach pain, constipation. What came up was possibly mesenteric adenitis diagnosis. He has swelling by the duodenal, and small intestine. He has not pooped in 14 days. He eats well, does not have a fever. We are attempting zantac to see if this will calm the swelling. My worry is that how long do you wait.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you.
Questions:
1. Did your kid pass motion or Meconium on day one of life?
2. Since how long is the kid constipated?
3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?
4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?
5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?
Best regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani
