After being given pain relief, Rhys settled down and was discharged with a diagnosis of mesenteric adenitis - a common condition thought to be caused by a viral infection.

Cold applied over the great vessels of the neck promptly abstracts heat from the blood, while it diminishes the pharyngitis, adenitis, and cellulitis; which is an important gain.
