Question
For more than 10 days, the child has been experiencing diarrhea with abdominal bloating, and medication has not improved the condition. The child is not crying or fussing and is in good spirits, with a normal body temperature. What were the past treatment situations and effects? What kind of assistance is expected?
Answer
From the description, it is suspected that the child’s abdominal bloating and diarrhea may be due to an abnormality in gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. To treat symptoms such as vomiting caused by abnormal gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, a visit to the pediatric department of a hospital is required, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to promote intestinal peristalsis should be taken for treatment. Children’s diarrhea often relates to viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, large temperature differences, or increased intestinal peristalsis after catching a cold. It is recommended to further examine the stool in detail.
