Hi Su centimetres lymph nodes are not of much significance. Constipation could be a cause. Laxatives at adequate dosages can really help your kid

These mesenteric lymph nodes are sub-centrimetric which means that it is less worrisome. It is very common due to bizzare eating habits like spicy foods , junk foods and less intake of water. Plus the child also has constipation which also leads to the same. It is very important to treat constipation because of child is suffering from impaction of stools then child will have pain due to mechanical causes.so untill and unless constipation is treated, the pain will take time to heal.
Next Steps
increase fibre intake salads stop junk food stop spicy and fried foods increased water intake fruits preferred over fruit juices fixed toilet timings and training
