Patient's question:
The son is 6 years old this year. Since last week, he has been experiencing some abdominal pain. He has seen that he doesn't want to eat anything, and his stomach sounds like a drum when tapped. This week, the son has even started having diarrhea, with several episodes a day, and it's all watery. What should I do if the child's diarrhea isn't being supplemented properly?Doctor's answer:
It is possible that the child's weaker gastrointestinal absorption ability may lead to an imbalance in the intestinal flora. Sometimes, catching a cold can also cause nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to apply a warm compress to the child and gently massage the navel area. Avoid consuming too cold foods. The evening meal should be light, avoiding meat and greasy foods. Drink more water, as it can promote gastrointestinal motility and aid in absorption. If necessary, it is advisable to visit a regular hospital for relevant examinations.
