Question
Since the age of 5, the child has been suffering from abdominal pain and vomiting, which occurs every half month, taking 5 days to recover. After recovery, they seem to have no issues. Could it be mesenteric lymphadenitis? Details of this recent episode and duration: This episode started on October 8th and lasted for 4 days. Previous diagnosis and treatment experiences and outcomes: Treated at several provincial and municipal key hospitals, with no significant improvement except for saline infusion for inflammation and fluid replenishment. Auxiliary examinations: Endoscopy and gastroscopy were performed, showing no abnormalities.
Answer
Vomiting refers to the complex reflex action where stomach contents or part of the small intestine are regurgitated through the esophagus and out of the mouth, a common gastrointestinal symptom in children. Currently, since the child vomits everything they eat, oral medication is not suitable for treatment, and even if taken, it may be quickly vomited out. Therefore, it is recommended to bring the child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for examination and intravenous treatment as soon as possible.
