Question
A child is experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting, and the parents suspect it might be mesenteric lymphadenitis. The child’s symptoms have been recurring, and they have already undergone examinations. The parents are seeking professional medical assistance.
Answer
Vomiting is a complex reflex action where stomach contents or part of the small intestine are regurgitated through the esophagus into the mouth, a common gastrointestinal symptom in children. Currently, the child is vomiting immediately after eating and is not suitable for oral medication treatment. Even if medication is taken, it may be quickly vomited out. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take the child to a local regular hospital pediatric department for examination and receive intravenous treatment.
