If a child is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and perform gastrointestinal decompression. At the same time, good hygiene habits should be cultivated, and a balanced diet should be ensured for the child, avoiding intake of irritating and cold foods.
