Hand massage is generally permissible. Therefore, once a child exhibits symptoms such as loss of appetite, parents should promptly take notice and immediately seek medical evaluation and treatment. Parents should also help improve the child’s lifestyle. Abdominal massage may be performed, but professional medical guidance and treatment remain essential. Most children recover fully after appropriate treatment; however, parents must pay special attention to the child’s diet.
