The 9-year-old child experienced stomach discomfort after accidentally consuming certain foods. The child reports feeling unwell in the stomach and often experiences abdominal pain after eating the same dish.

But the parents are worried about the child frequently experiencing similar situations and ask whether detailed examinations are needed, as well as what precautions should be taken daily.

Based on your description, it is recommended to visit a gastroenterology department for a gastroscopy or to undergo a barium meal examination for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. At the same time, avoid eating cold, spicy, and greasy foods, and avoid overeating.
