Hi....please do not worry. What the CT scan suggests and what your kid is having is mesenteric lymphadenitis.
This is not a disease by itself. Any minor stomach infection can cause this enlargement of lymph nodes.
I suggest you see your pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist for this.
Treatment includes only pain killers at the most. The nodes will regress by themselves.
