Patient's question:
He frequently experiences paroxysmal abdominal pain, with an unclear specific location, and has been suffering from it for over a year. After multiple treatments, the condition has not been accurately diagnosed. An experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner suspects it might be gastric spasm and is seeking a treatment method. Is traditional Chinese medicine better or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Child stomach cramps are muscle spasms in the stomach, causing sharp stomach pain. In severe cases, it may lead to nausea and vomiting. This condition is usually caused by factors such as the stomach being exposed to cold or improper diet. In such cases, it is recommended that the child get proper rest and apply a warm towel to the stomach for heat therapy. It is also advised to avoid eating raw and cold foods, spicy and irritating foods that are difficult to digest, as well as snacks, beverages, and ice cream.
