Patient's question:
The son has been complaining of stomach pain since last week. After checking at the hospital, it was found to be gallbladder ascariasis. However, today the son mistakenly drank alcohol by mistake, thinking it was a beverage. Please ask if children with gallbladder ascariasis can drink alcohol?Doctor's answer:
Children with biliary ascariasis definitely cannot drink alcohol, and they should also avoid greasy and spicy foods. It is caused by various reasons leading to active movement of the biliary ascariasis, which then the bile duct, resulting in acute upper abdominal pain and biliary infection. During an attack, patients experience intense pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chills, and fever. The abdominal pain is often a sudden, severe, lancinating pain at the xiphoid process, most commonly seen in children aged six to eight years old.
