Question
A 10-year-old boy is experiencing pain below the navel and diarrhea. What is the recommended course of action?
Answer
It is advisable to conduct blood and stool routine tests, as well as an abdominal ultrasound, to determine the cause of the symptoms. If diagnosed with enteritis, it is recommended to actively take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and Simethicone for treatment. If it is determined to be mesenteric lymphadenitis, intravenous antibiotic therapy may be required.
