Patient's question:
The son is 6 years old this year. Since last week, he has been experiencing some abdominal pain and has lost his appetite, as if his stomach is like a drum when tapped. This week, he 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 properly supplemented?Doctor's answer:
It is possible that the child's weaker gastrointestinal absorption ability may lead to an imbalance in the gut microbiota. 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 and simple, avoiding meat and greasy foods. Drinking more water can promote gastrointestinal motility and aid in absorption. If necessary, it is advisable to visit a regular hospital for relevant examinations.
