Question
My child has been having diarrhea for 2 days and started experiencing pain around the navel yesterday, with intermittent pain. We went to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound and routine blood test. What should we do?
Answer
Based on the analysis of the situation, this may be caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis, and it’s not ruled out that there could be an intestinal perforation. It is recommended to conduct routine blood tests and an abdominal ultrasound to rule out intestinal perforation or mesenteric lymphadenitis before deciding on a treatment plan. Avoid using medication blindly and be aware of preventing colds, and always conduct follow-up checks. The navel pain may be related to small intestinal inflammation or intestinal perforation, and it is suggested to go to a local regular hospital for further examination and symptomatic treatment. Wishing you health.
