Patient's question:
7-year-old boy, starting from May 2nd to the present, always feels hot when sleeping at night, does not cough during the day, but coughs with phlegm at night, and often vomits after coughing. His bowel movements are also abnormal and hard. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The baby should first consider the abnormal development of the stomach. If the stomach is small or there is stomach discomfort, it is easy to vomit. Additionally, during pharyngitis, vomiting is easily triggered after exercise. Mesenteric lymph node inflammation is more likely to cause abdominal pain rather than vomiting and requires imaging tests of the stomach to observe. If there is abnormal development, surgical correction should be considered. Alternatively, observation can be done first, as the baby may outgrow it as it gets older.
