Question
My child has had a fever and abdominal pain for several days, and has taken many medications but with little effect. I am very worried about my child’s health. How should I handle fever and abdominal pain in children? What medications can be taken to alleviate the symptoms significantly?
Answer
If a child has a fever and abdominal pain, it may be caused by lymphadenitis of the intestinal tract. It is best to pay attention to drinking more hot water, eating fewer snacks, and avoiding oily and cold foods to prevent exacerbation of the abdominal pain. It is recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and stomach-soothing medication for treatment. In case of necessity, perform blood tests and ultrasound to check the condition and treat accordingly.
