What should be done for a child with intermittent abdominal pain due to gastroenteritis?
1. Dietary management: Ensure that children eat meals at regular times every day, avoiding overeating or binge eating. Provide children with foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits, to enhance immune function. Spicy, greasy, raw, and cold foods should be avoided as much as possible.
2. Daily habits: Parents are advised to encourage children to maintain regular sleep schedules, engage in appropriate physical activity, and practice good hygiene.
3. Parents can gently massage the child's abdomen to help relieve abdominal pain and promote gastrointestinal motility.
4. When a child experiences abdominal pain due to gastroenteritis, do not administer painkillers casually, as this may mask symptoms. Medication should only be given under the guidance of a doctor.
