Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes , Abdominal Pain And Fatigue

My 19 year old daughter in the last 2 months has been getting severe abdominal pain with fatigue and generalised back and joint pain. On OC for 18 months- no issues BHCG -ve, normal appendix seen on US. Swollen lymph nodes (cluster in RIF) that did settle a little with AB s. Bloods are okay - when a severe pain attack happens the WCC rises to above normal but marginally. Could this be Crohns?
