Question
A four-and-a-half-year-old child reported abdominal pain in the afternoon. After resting and falling asleep, the parents heard rumbling sounds coming from the child’s stomach, followed by vomiting, with the pain not entirely relieved. The parents have already performed clockwise massage, and the child has fallen asleep again. In this situation, do you need to go to the hospital for a medical consultation?
Answer
Hello, based on the described situation, this may primarily be due to dyspepsia caused by dietary issues. It is recommended to adopt a small and frequent meal pattern, choose light and easily digestible foods, avoid overeating to prevent dyspepsia, and drink plenty of warm water. Currently, it is suggested to observe the situation closely. If there is still vomiting, consider giving probiotics. In the near future, focus on easy-to-digest foods such as congee made from millet. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
