Question

My daughter has been complaining about pain around her navel for several days. What should we do?

Answer

Diarrhea, the symptoms of which in children are generally considered to be due to indigestion, viral infections, lactose intolerance, or bacterial infections. For diarrhea symptoms, it is recommended to take intestinal regulating medicine, Simethicone, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and take oral rehydration salts. If oral treatment is ineffective, go to the hospital for intravenous fluid therapy. Children have weaker body resistance, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, do not worry excessively and should promptly take your child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Also, make sure to give your child regular check-ups and use medication as directed by the doctor.
