Patient's question:
My child is 6 years old. During a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the child's stomach is located on the right side, pressing on the lung. Sometimes, if they eat too much, they complain of stomach pain. After vomiting a couple of times, they feel better. Do they need to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
In your child's case, it may be caused by indigestion. It is recommended not to have a picky diet and to try to maintain a regular eating schedule. During episodes, you can use Xiao'er Jianpi San, Xiao'er Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, and gastrokinetic drugs. Additionally, you can supplement with gluconate of zinc and multivitamin tablets. Make sure to keep your child warm to avoid catching a cold. You can also gently massage the stomach in a clockwise direction to see if it helps. If it doesn't, hospital treatment may be necessary.
