Question
The child, who is six years old, has been complaining of abdominal pain for half a year. Liver function tests, routine blood tests, Helicobacter pylori infection, hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg, commonly known as ’two halves’), and tapeworm checks have all been done, and the results were normal. The doctor suspects that the problem may be related to disharmony in the spleen and stomach.
Answer
After analyzing the child’s condition, the doctor suggested further examination with an upper gastrointestinal barium meal to determine the cause of the abdominal pain. Additionally, the doctor recommended using medications like Jianwei Xiaoshi Oral Liquid to improve the function of the spleen and stomach. Moreover, the doctor advised parents to cooperate with the treatment by providing the child with a reasonable diet, avoiding spicy and cold foods, and cultivating good hygiene habits.
