Can children undergo an endoscopy?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender:
Patient Age: Six years
After eating, they often complain of stomach discomfort.
History of previous diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Chronic gastritis

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric chronic gastritis involves both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. Non-pharmacological treatment focuses on lifestyle and health care, primarily emphasizing regular eating habits, fixed meal times and portion sizes, and reducing snacking. In terms of food preparation, it should be light, soft, easy to digest, and avoid overly cold, hard, acidic, or rough foods. Children should not consume coffee-based beverages, and should eat chocolate sparingly. Avoid eating before bedtime. Additionally, it is important to wash hands before and after meals, practice good dietary hygiene, and prevent diseases from entering the body.
Pharmacological treatment involves various strategies, which must be determined and guided by a doctor based on the child's condition. Parents must actively cooperate to achieve the best results.
