Question
For the past several days, a three-year-old child has been experiencing straight abdominal pain. The blood test results at the hospital were normal, and after taking medication for three days, the pain still persists.
Answer
Antispasmodic drugs (such as hyoscine butylbromide) can block the muscarinic receptors of smooth muscles and can also directly act on smooth muscles to relieve spasms. If this is ineffective, hydrochloric dicyclomine can be used. As an anticholinergic drug, it has antispasmodic effects similar to atropine and certain central calming effects, showing some efficacy in treating intestinal spasms. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
