Patient's question:
It has already started with frequent hiccups, and taking medicine hasn't helped at all. Later, when swallowing food, he said it hurt. After going to the hospital, they found nothing wrong and just gave him some medicine. He hasn't taken the medicine many times yet, but then he developed a low fever. After taking the medicine, he was given intravenous fluids for two days, and the fever went away. However, swallowing food still causes pain. An ultrasound was done, and it showed abdominal swelling and swollen lymph nodes. I would like to ask if this condition is common in children and how serious it is.Doctor's answer:
Children with abdominal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement, lymphadenitis, and frequent abdominal pain around the navel are often related to TCM conditions such as spleen and stomach deficiency and poor digestion. It is recommended to take pediatric Jianpi San, Baiqing Granules, Domperidone Tablets, and Gentamicin Granules for treatment. Pay attention to prevent colds and avoid eating raw and cold foods or spicy foods. During acute phases, anti-inflammatory treatment and appropriate use of spasmolytic medications are advised. Additionally, you can try Huoxiang Chongji. The above suggestions are for the question "Why am I constantly hiccuping?" and hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
