Child's stomachache and diarrhea are due to indigestion?

Patient's question:

The two-year-old baby always complains of stomach pain. The night before yesterday, she kept yelling about stomach pain and vomited three times after eating milk in the morning, followed by one bowel movement. The day before yesterday, she had two bowel movements. It's likely indigestion, as everything she ate came out. This afternoon, she kept saying her stomach hurts, and tonight she seems listless. She has also frequently complained of stomach pain without vomiting or having a bowel movement before. The doctor said she needs to be fasting for the ultrasound, but she didn't do it. I don't know if an ultrasound is necessary, and I'm unsure if it's indigestion.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, there are many reasons that can cause stomach pain, such as intestinal cramps, chronic appendicitis, or mesenteric diseases. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Digestive MRI can be performed to rule out organic inflammation. You can also give your child infant pepsin mixture and probiotics for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to giving your child more water and eating some light, easily digestible foods.
