Question
My child has been disobedient and crying constantly lately. After going to the hospital, there has been no improvement. Should we do another endoscopy if the stomach discomfort persists?
Answer
Hello, if the child is experiencing regional pain, belching, or heartburn, it may be due to an ulcer and a follow-up endoscopy is recommended. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping warm, avoiding catching a cold, and not eating spicy or cold foods. Vomiting in children may be due to incomplete development of the gastroesophageal sphincter and usually does not require special treatment; just avoid vigorous activity after eating.
