One cause

1 Ascariasis

Characteristics of abdominal pain

When the environment changes or the child has a fever, diarrhea, hunger or eats spicy food, he or she will suddenly have abdominal pain. The child will cry, roll on the ground, bend over, sweat, and look pale. The abdominal pain is most severe around the navel. It is often accompanied by vomiting, and even roundworms may be vomited out. Sometimes abdominal pain can be relieved or even disappear on its own, and the child will appear tired. After fully recovering, he can play as usual. The pain lasts for several minutes each time and may occur every other day or several times a day.

2 Causes of abdominal pain

After the larvae of roundworms develop into adults in the small intestine, they have toxic effects and mechanical irritation to the small intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and indigestion. When the number of adult worms reaches dozens or hundreds, the worms can twist into a ball and cause intestinal obstruction. Ascaris has the habit of drilling holes, and often drills into the appendix and bile duct, causing appendicitis and biliary ascariasis, resulting in abdominal pain.

3Acute appendicitis

Characteristics of abdominal pain

At first, the child feels pain in the stomach or around the belly button, which turns into pain in the lower right abdomen after a few hours. Pressing the right lower abdomen of a child with your hand will intensify the child's crying. The child is often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, and then has a fever, and the body temperature can rise to around 39°C.

Second, nursing points

1. The sick child must be isolated. Tableware can be disinfected by boiling in water for 15 minutes. Toys for children can be made of wood or plastic which are easy to disinfect. The child's bed sheets and blankets can be exposed to sunlight for 6 hours for disinfection.

2. To reduce physical exertion and the frequency of bowel movements, the child should rest in bed. When a child has abdominal pain, you can put a hot water bottle on his abdomen, but be careful not to make the water temperature too high to prevent burns.

3. If the infant has a rapid and urgent bowel movement, allow the child to defecate in the diaper instead of sitting on the toilet. This can prevent anorectal prolapse. Wash your child's buttocks with warm water after each bowel movement, and apply 5% tannic acid ointment to the skin around the anus. If you have rectal prolapse, you can use gauze or soft toilet paper coated with Vaseline, support the prolapsed anus, massage it gently while pushing it upwards to restore it.

4. If the child vomits frequently, he or she may need to fast for a short period of time, and the doctor may give the child intravenous fluids. Parents can feed their children less greasy liquids, such as lotus root powder, soy milk, etc. Once your condition improves, you can eat as soon as possible.
