Question
My child, who is 7 years old, is experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting with intermittent pain. In past treatments, the test results showed a neutrophil count of 89.0 and a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level of 1.8, with an MRI showing mesenteric lymph nodes. I need to understand the causes of the abdominal pain and vomiting.
Answer
The most common cause of abdominal pain and vomiting is infection, which requires urine tests to determine whether it is a bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection, and treatment should be based on the results of the examination. If the child is listless, attention should also be given to diseases such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be given to adjust the intestinal flora. In cases of severe vomiting, medical attention is needed for intravenous injection of antiemetic medication. If dehydration symptoms occur, immediate medical attention for intravenous fluid therapy is required. In terms of diet, opt for light, soft, and easily digestible foods. An abdominal ultrasound should be conducted during abdominal pain.
