Patient's question:
The child mentioned in the evening that his stomach hurt, but he didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a cold from not covering himself properly. But when he woke him up in the morning, he had no energy and felt very weak all over. What could be wrong?Doctor's answer:
When a child has stomach pain at night, it is usually caused by catching a cold or eating cold things. It is recommended to cover the child well with blankets when sleeping at night, pay attention to keeping the abdomen and feet warm, and avoid letting them catch a cold. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate traditional Chinese medicine can be taken. Additionally, it is essential to pay attention to diet. Drink more water, avoid eating cold, raw, and spicy foods like chili peppers, and get proper rest. Avoid drinking beer.
