Question
The child has abdominal pain that causes crying, with pain occurring intermittently. Blood tests and an ultrasound have been conducted, and the results are normal. However, the child still experiences persistent pain. How should it be handled?
Answer
If the child’s pain is located around the navel and there are no other symptoms such as vomiting or fever, and the pain is intermittent, it may be due to intestinal spasm. It is recommended to take oral medications such as Mylanta under a doctor’s guidance to regulate intestinal flora during pain. Apply cold compresses to the abdomen and perform appropriate massage as needed. Pay attention to abdominal warmth, avoid catching a cold, and in the diet, avoid gas-producing foods like dairy products and soybeans, while consuming more fiber-rich foods.
