Patient's question:
I am the mother of a five-year-old child. Last year, my child got a disease called Mycoplasma pneumonia multiple times, and his immunity significantly declined. During the last fever, he also had mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. I took him to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed two sets of herbal medicine. After my child took the medicine, his fever subsided, but his diarrhea worsened.Doctor's answer:
Infants often experience abdominal pain. This may be caused by improper diet. Sometimes it is due to overeating. Eating too much can easily lead to indigestion, which can cause abdominal pain. If the food intake is significantly higher than usual, it may lead to abdominal pain caused by intestinal inflammation. Mild intestinal cramps and abdominal pain may occur. When the pain occurs, abdominal massage in a clockwise direction and hydration can be given to the baby. Applying hot water can help alleviate the pain. Observe whether the stool is normal. If there is blood or viral infection, regular stool tests should be conducted. Seek medical attention promptly.
