1. Repeated vomiting, belching, acid reflux, and abdominal distension related to diet;

2. Recurrent abdominal pain, with unclear location, which may be limited to the pit of the stomach or around the navel, and is intermittent and irregular, and may occur at night and in the early morning, but there is no history of intestinal parasite infection;

Since gastroscopy started relatively late in pediatrics, previous methods such as barium meals and X-rays could not “catch all” pediatric digestive system diseases. The efficiency of gastroscopy in gastrointestinal examination can reach 99%. With the increasing popularity of gastroscopy in pediatric examinations, the "black hole" of children's stomach disease has gradually been exposed to the sun. These diseases include chronic gastritis, duodenal bulbitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, etc., which have become common diseases in children. Parents should pay great attention to this.

Generally speaking, children are not aware of abdominal pain and cannot accurately describe the feeling, which means that many children's stomach problems cannot be discovered in time. In addition, the diversity of the disease's symptoms is also one of the factors that make parents easily misled. Qu Wenzhi introduced that the pain time of children with stomach problems is not fixed. Most of them experience pain after meals, while some experience pain before meals. After eating, the food neutralizes the stomach acid and the pain will be relieved. Compared with adult patients who may have a medical history of more than ten years, children's stomach pain often manifests as intermittent attacks, each lasting perhaps only a few minutes or more than ten minutes, and the pain disappears quickly.

Children's physical constitution is relatively weak. If they do not pay attention to their diet, they will develop many gastrointestinal diseases due to poor digestion in the later stage. Especially the symptoms of stomach pain are more obvious, so appropriate medication or diet treatment should be used. Now the discomfort is caused by eating cold food, so you should pay proper attention and avoid eating cold food. You should eat more warm food which is good for your body. You should not be picky about food and should pay attention to the diversity of nutrients.
