Patient's question:
I am the mother of a five-year-old child. Last year, my child contracted mycoplasma pneumonia multiple times, and their immunity significantly declined. During the last fever, they also experienced mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. I took my child to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed two sets of herbal medicine. After my child took the medicine, the fever subsided, but the diarrhea worsened.Doctor's answer:
Infants often experience abdominal pain, which may be caused by improper diet. Sometimes it is due to overeating. Eating too much can easily lead to indigestion, resulting in abdominal pain. If the food intake is significantly higher than usual, it may cause abdominal pain caused by intestinal inflammation. Mild intestinal cramps and abdominal pain may occur. When pain occurs, abdominal massage in a clockwise direction and hydration can be performed for the baby. Applying warm water can help alleviate the pain, and it is important to observe whether the stool is normal. If there is blood or signs of viral infection, regular stool tests should be conducted, and medical attention should be sought promptly.
