Patient's question:
Recently, my daughter has often complained of stomach pain while eating. I took her to the hospital, where they only prescribed a few small white pills and told her to take them when the pain occurs. However, she still says she has stomach pain (usually while eating). I have also given her deworming medication (pesticide). What should I do? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Sudden abdominal pain is a common phenomenon. Many common diseases can cause acute abdominal pain. They are severe and develop rapidly. Due to the inaccurate verbal expression of infants and young children, it is difficult to diagnose this disease. Because surgery should be performed once a certain disease occurs, conservative treatment can be provided early for some diseases, and certain organs may need to be surgically removed in the late stage to be treated. Some abdominal pains can be improved with medication. Therefore, you cannot give children painkillers, as this will mask the condition. You should learn to use your child's various abnormal manifestations to estimate the possible causes of abdominal pain and handle them promptly to alleviate your child's suffering and unnecessary loss.
