Question
My child has intermittent abdominal pain, sometimes better and sometimes worse. I don’t know what’s going on, and I’m wondering if there’s any medication that can quickly relieve the pain?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s intermittent abdominal pain may be due to intestinal spasm. Don’t worry; this is usually not a serious issue. Firstly, it is recommended that you closely observe your child’s condition, as medication is often not necessary in most cases. After all, medications can have certain side effects. Maintain good living habits, avoid cold and spicy foods, don’t overeat, and consume less greasy and fried food. You can try gentle massage and cold compresses around your child’s navel. If the situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to take your child to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of lymph node enlargement. Wishing your child a healthy and happy life!
