Patient's question:
Today, I suddenly received a phone call from my son's teacher, saying that my son complained of stomach pain at school and asked me to take him to the hospital for a check-up. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he had mild gastritis. I was stunned and couldn't believe it! What should I do if my child has stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
If you get this illness, you need to take some traditional Chinese medicine that helps with the stomach to relieve the severe abdominal pain for a while, and the child will no longer feel pain. However, treating stomach problems is 70% about treatment and 30% about recovery. It is essential to closely monitor the child and avoid eating random foods. The three meals should be taken at fixed times each day. This coordination with medication will lead to a very quick recovery. At the same time, you must also tell the child that they must sit steadily while eating dinner and not play while eating to avoid swallowing air, which could cause severe abdominal pain. Thank you!
