Patient's question:
A child had diarrhea for 2 days and took some medicine. Since yesterday, they've been experiencing pain around the navel area. Sometimes it doesn't hurt. They went to the hospital for an ultrasound and blood tests. What should they do?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello, this condition may be caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis, and the possibility of an intestinal fistula cannot be ruled out. It is best to improve the examination to clarify the cause of treatment and then recommend: Go for a blood test and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound examination to rule out if you have an intestinal fistula or mesenteric lymphadenitis. Decide how to treat it, do not use blindly, pay attention to preventing colds and follow-up.Guidance: The navel is the location of the small intestine. If it hurts, it is still considered intestinal inflammation or an intestinal fistula. It is recommended to have further examination and symptomatic treatment in a local regular hospital. I hope you get well.
