Onset of symptoms occasionally. Main symptoms: abdominal pain, poor appetite, not very fond of sitting, often says standing is more comfortable than sitting.
Hospital visited: Local hospital.

Doctor's answer:

A child of this age who frequently experiences stomach pain should ideally undergo an abdominal ultrasound to check if there are any issues with the bile ducts or mesenteric lymph nodes. Based on the results, appropriate anti-infection treatment can be administered. As for poor appetite, this can be addressed by taking Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian orally and supplementing with zinc. Generally, these symptoms will gradually improve.
