Patient's question:
The child is 4 years old and has pain above the navel. An ultrasound and CT scan were performed; urine tests were also conducted, but everything came back normal. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No specific diagnosis was found. Desired assistance: The child wants to know what could have caused this.Doctor's answer:
Please have the parents check if the baby is experiencing colic. The cause of colic is currently unclear, and the main approach is to enhance care. Parents should be aware that colic is self-limiting, and the baby may experience recurrent episodes of colic, characterized by daily recurrence for ≥3 hours. Since the underlying mechanism is not well understood, it is not caused by certain diseases, and there are currently no effective medical treatments. The focus is more on providing comfort. Sometimes, the parents' anxiety can make caregiving more challenging. Please parents, make sure to adjust your emotions and support the baby through this special period.
