Question
A 4-year-old child is experiencing pain above the navel. They have had an ultrasound and CT scan, and urine tests show no problems. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing intestinal colic, which is a self-limiting condition that may recur for more than 3 hours a day. There is no definitive treatment method in medicine at present, and it is mainly managed through enhanced care to alleviate symptoms. It is recommended that parents observe whether the baby might have intestinal colic and understand its self-limiting characteristics. Parents’ emotions can also affect care, so please maintain emotional stability to better care for the baby during this period.
