Patient's question:
A little effect, the stomach pain is not as frequent as before taking medication, but it still occurs after stopping the medication. Auxiliary tests: A routine stool examination was performed: a few white blood cells and pus cells, otherwise normal.Doctor's answer:
The most common causes of umbilical pain in children include lead poisoning, mesenteric issues, lymphadenitis, intestinal parasites, and several other conditions. It is recommended to conduct relevant examinations for the child to rule out these possibilities. An abdominal ultrasound can be performed to rule out mesenteric lymphadenitis. Mesenteric lymphadenitis typically occurs following upper respiratory infections or intestinal infections, primarily characterized by intermittent umbilical pain, though diarrhea may also occur. An ultrasound can confirm this diagnosis, and specific treatment depends on identifying the infectious pathogen through a blood test. If the child experiences recurrent or frequent umbilical pain, it is advisable to have them examined to check for high blood lead levels and potential intestinal parasitic infections, followed by appropriate treatment.
