Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

Chest and abdominal pain in children may be caused by poor dietary hygiene, bacterial enteritis, or gastroesophageal reflux. If symptoms are due to bacterial enteritis, treatment may include medications such as Enteritis Ning Granules, under a doctor's guidance. If caused by gastroesophageal reflux, acid-suppressing medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules may be taken as directed by a physician. However, please note thatomeprazole enteric-coated capsules are recommended for use in individuals aged 14 years and older.
