Question
A four-year-old child complained of stomach pain in the morning, vomiting twice before feeling better, but without diarrhea. The pain was intermittent, and the child barely ate anything throughout the day. Later in the evening, the child reported pain again and vomited once more. What’s going on?
Answer
The possible causes of a child’s stomach pain include intestinal worm infection, high blood lead levels, or intestinal spasm. It could also be gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal flu. It is recommended to seek medical attention for further examination and intravenous treatment, and consider taking probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora.
