Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your son need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Periportal and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes may be due to many visceral pathology.These lymph nodes are the draining sites and get enlarged due to distal pathology.It should be clinically correlated.
He need contrast CT Scan of abdomen.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Hope i have answered your query.
