Question
Is a 6-year-old child’s gastrointestinal dysfunction and lymph node swelling serious?
Answer
Hello: Based on your description, it seems to be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction. The main symptoms are belching, abdominal bloating, frequent bowel movements, and the condition is exacerbated by eating irritating or cold foods. Since the diarrhea has already resolved, it’s important not to misuse antibiotics as they can easily worsen gastrointestinal dysfunction. Currently, you should consider taking Vitamin B1 tablets or the gastrointestinal motility drug Domperidone (taken half an hour before meals) and Lactobacillus tablets to adjust the intestinal function. The diet should be light, with less sugar-rich foods, and more fiber-rich foods such as green vegetables and chives to extend the time food stays in the intestines. Avoid stimulating food stimulating food, and with adjustments, it will gradually improve.
