What to do if your child has gallstones

Gallstones are a disease that is generally common among middle-aged and elderly people, but in modern society, many parents find that their children also have gallstones. Since gallstones are a very hard substance, if they remain in the body for a long time, they will affect the normal function of the gallbladder and even cause other gallbladder diseases. So if a child has gallstones, what treatment methods should be used?

What uncomfortable symptoms will children have after suffering from gallstones? Let’s find out together. The symptoms of gallstones are mainly upper abdominal pain: nausea and vomiting. The pain is often irregular, generally diffuse upper abdominal burning pain, dull pain, bloating, etc. If the stones move and rub in the child's gallbladder for a long time, it will damage and inflame the gallbladder wall, which may easily induce gallbladder lesions. Therefore, when parents suspect that their children have gallstones, they should take the children to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Today's medical level is more advanced, and minimally invasive gallbladder-preserving and stone-removing surgery can be used for treatment. Minimally invasive surgery has many advantages, such as being minimally invasive, having very small incisions, quick recovery, and being able to completely remove the gallbladder and its functions. As long as you actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, I believe the condition will improve soon.

In addition, eating small meals frequently can repeatedly stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder, promote the excretion of bile, and achieve the purpose of drainage. You should avoid spicy food and alcohol.
