Abdominal pain around the navel frequently occurs - what should be done?

Patient's question:

Approximately the past treatment and effects: Before the surgery, all internal organ examinations were normal, and I slept well during naps. The doctor diagnosed it as chronic appendicitis or appendiceal calculus. Six days after the surgery, the incision became infected, and after changing dressings, the wound healed approximately 20 days later. However, lower abdominal pain below the navel became more frequent day by day, accompanied by dry retching and clear sputum. A urine test showed 2+ white blood cells, +/- blood, and a ultrasound examination of the urinary system was normal. I still slept well during naps, but as soon as I woke up, standing or sitting would cause unbearable lower abdominal pain. Currently, the doctor has diagnosed it as postoperative intestinal adhesion.
The doctor prescribed:
- Liquid paraffin solution
- Wheat fiber granules
- Cefdinir tablets
- Metronidazole tablets
Topical medication: Qiqiao Golden Yellow Powder

Doctor's answer:

Based on your medical history, the possibility of intestinal adhesion is relatively high. Your current treatment plan is still acceptable, but it is best to add oral traditional Chinese medicine. Surgery should be used with caution. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water. At the same time, enhance nutrition and maintain a balanced diet. Engage in sufficient activity, especially walking after meals, but avoid strenuous exercise to prevent intestinal torsion. I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
