Patient's question:
Just recently, the baby has been experiencing stomach pain starting around 6/7 PM, lasting for about an hour or so, sometimes even for ten to fifteen minutes. This has happened five times already. It's not every day, but rather every few days.Previous Treatment and Effects:
Visited the hospital for a thorough check-up, and everything was normal.
Desired Help:
I want to understand what's going on and how to prevent the stomach pain from happening again.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, children with abdominal pain and discomfort symptoms are often associated with gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction, mesenteric lymphadenitis, intestinal parasites, etc. Parents should pay close attention and carefully observe changes in their child's condition. If accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or dry heaving, as well as decreased appetite, it may indicate gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction or enteritis. In such cases, increasing food intake and consuming light, easily digestible foods should be the foundation of treatment. If necessary, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments may be required. It is advisable to undergo an abdominal MRI examination to check for mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which can help rule out mesenteric lymphadenitis. Taking preventive deworming medication can help prevent parasitic infections.
