Answer

Hello, how was the treatment implemented during the patient’s hospital stay? Additionally, what was the condition of the child’s dinner before hospitalization? How high was the body temperature? Firstly, in this situation, it is necessary to look at the patient’s condition in detail. On the other hand, it is important to look at what specific medications were used and whether they have irritated the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the child has a case of indigestion. It can be treated by a traditional Chinese medicine department or by using drugs that help with absorption.
