Hi.
Most of the diagnosis are done on a proper history by you and elicitation by a Doctor as also a detailed clinical examination.
In your case with this short history this looks to be due to enteritis or lymph node mass or a cyst of the mesentery.
Yes, you need an ultrasonography to start and CT scan to confirm or rule out any major problem.
A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole and dewormin is worth a trial for 5 days ,
