Answer

The child’s symptoms may be due to gastrointestinal inflammation, possibly caused by improper diet or exposure to cold. It is recommended to undergo appropriate treatment under a doctor’s guidance, while also ensuring adequate hydration, avoiding cold exposure, and maintaining proper diet and warmth. Additionally, spicy foods should be avoided, and sufficient rest should be taken.
