Patient's question:
My daughter has intestinal gas. The doctor said that medication cannot cure it and that surgery is necessary. Is it really necessary to have surgery? My daughter is only four years old. How should intestinal gas be treated in a four-year-old girl?Doctor's answer:
In these cases, the gas in the girl's small intestine can cause a swelling in the groin. It is recommended to follow a light diet and enhance nutrition. During rest, avoid strenuous activities, fatigue, and exhaustion to prevent the protrusion of small intestinal gas. Examination can be conducted at the general surgery department of a local regular comprehensive hospital. Selective surgery may be considered for the treatment of small intestinal gas. After surgery, pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and prevent wound inflammation. Avoid smoking, drinking, and resting. Eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy foods.
