Doctor's answer:

The situation you are describing, a five-year-old child. Recently, for about a week, the child has frequently complained of stomach pain and has had one loose bowel movement per day. It is considered to be indigestion or enteritis. It is recommended that you take the child to a local hospital and have the pediatrician examine blood, urine, and stool tests, as well as a C-reactive protein check. After a clear diagnosis, medication can be considered. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal three-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to diagnose the condition and provide appropriate treatment for a quicker recovery.
