Patient's question:
Started to develop symptoms at the age of 5, with abdominal pain and vomiting every time. The symptoms occur every 1.5 months and last for 5 consecutive days. Once recovered, it's as if nothing happened. Could it be mesenteric lymphitis?Duration and course of the current episode: The current episode started on October 8 and lasted for 4 days.
Current general condition: Three days before the onset, abdominal pain and continuous vomiting occur. After receiving 4-5 days of intravenous saline for inflammation and fluid replenishment, the patient is able to eat normally, and everything returns to normal.
Previous diagnosis, treatment history, and outcomes: The patient has been treated in various key hospitals in the province and city, with no significant improvement except for intravenous saline for anti-inflammation and fluid replenishment.
Auxiliary tests: Colonoscopy and gastroscopy were performed, but no abnormalities were found.
Doctor's answer:
Vomiting refers to a complex reflex action where the contents of the stomach or a portion of the small intestine are regurgitated through the esophagus into the oral cavity. It is a common digestive symptom in children. Currently, since eating and vomiting whatever the child consumes is not suitable for oral medication treatment, even if medication is taken, it may be quickly expelled. Therefore, it is recommended that you take the child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for examination, diagnosis, and intravenous treatment as soon as possible.
