1. Seek medical attention promptly: Immediately take the child to the hospital for professional evaluation and treatment. 2. Medication: Administer appropriate medications to relieve symptoms as directed by the doctor. 3. Physical therapy: Applying heat can improve local blood circulation and reduce pain; massage may help release intestinal gas and alleviate bloating. 4. Dietary adjustment: During treatment, the child's diet should be light and easily digestible, with increased intake of foods rich in vitamins and protein. 5. Rest: Ensure the child gets adequate rest during illness. Avoid strenuous activities and overexertion to prevent worsening of the condition.
