What causes a child to have a cold and a stomachache?

Children are very prone to catching colds. They may catch a cold just by going out. A cold is accompanied by a fever, which makes children feel very uncomfortable. Some children also have stomachaches when they have a cold, and there are many reasons for stomachaches. As parents, we must determine why our children have a cold and stomachache so that we can prescribe the right medicine instead of randomly looking for folk remedies. Let's talk about what causes children to have a cold and stomachache.

Stomach pain 1. Consider gastrointestinal cold 2. Consider acute appendicitis

Suggestions: 1. If it is a simple gastrointestinal cold, it can be treated as a gastrointestinal cold and antipyretics can be taken, but if the blood count is high, antibiotics are also needed. 2. If the blood count is very high, be highly alert to acute appendicitis. It is recommended to complete abdominal plain film and other examinations. 3. Also consider the possibility of stomach disease.

You can also check if it's gastroenteritis. Gastrointestinal cold is different from gastroenteritis. The main difference is that patients with acute gastroenteritis often have a history of unclean food, nausea, and vomiting. The vomitus often has a pungent odor, but generally there is no fever symptom. Many people often mistakenly treat gastrointestinal cold as acute gastroenteritis at the beginning of the onset of gastrointestinal cold.

Acute mesenteric lymphadenitis in children is more common in children under 7 years old. It is mostly a viral infection and is often combined with or secondary to an upper respiratory tract infection, i.e. a cold. The disease is prone to recurrence. Color ultrasound examination can reveal swollen lymph nodes, and patients will have symptoms such as abdominal pain.

If the child is diagnosed with mesenteric lymphadenitis, generally no special treatment is required. When the symptoms are severe, the abdominal pain will be significantly improved through fasting, intravenous infusion and antibiotic treatment. The prognosis is very good and most people can recover without any specific treatment. The treatment of this disease requires the use of antibiotics, which are commonly known as anti-inflammatory drugs. The course of treatment is generally about 1 week.

The above is some relevant information about children’s colds and stomachaches. There are many reasons why children may have stomach pain, it may be enteritis or other reasons. Regardless of the reason, you must pay attention to the child’s diet and daily physical changes. If it is very serious, send to the hospital for examination in time, which can help the child recover.
