The operation is to open the patient's abdominal cavity for direct inspection. Only after finding out what the disease is can the appropriate treatment be given.

Possibility: Abdominal pain and diarrhea are mostly caused by eating unclean food (food poisoning), which causes gastrointestinal inflammation.

Treatment: If the symptoms do not disappear, you need to pay attention to the following points. ① Do not eat solid food and do not drink milk. ② Drink at least 1 liter of boiled water (without sugar) every day. ③ If you have diarrhea too often, drink light salt water (add half a teaspoon of salt to 1 liter of water) to replenish the water lost due to diarrhea. ④ If you find red or colorless mucus in your stool, you should see a doctor.

5. Symptoms: Abdominal pain starts from the waist and then moves downward to the groin.

The patient should drink plenty of water ② Stones, the doctor may need to perform a pyelogram to check for stones. Depending on the nature of the stones, the patient should drink plenty of water. You can try taking medicine to dissolve them. Some people have taken allopurinol (a gout medicine) and potassium salt, and have achieved very good results, but this needs further confirmation. There are also people who use ultrasound to break up stones and get satisfactory results. When there is no other choice, only surgery can be performed. To prevent the regeneration of stones, patients should eat low-calcium and low-purine foods.

6. Symptoms: Pain on the right side of the waist below the ribs.

The patient should pay attention to the following points. ① Eat less fatty foods. ② Take some muscle relaxants. ③ Take some painkillers, such as acetaminophen, when necessary. ④ Take medicine to help dissolve gallstones. ⑤ If the above treatments are ineffective, surgery is required to remove the gallbladder.

The above are some of the situations and symptoms that boys experience when they have abdominal pain. One thing to note is that you must not take aspirin or other narcotic analgesics when you have abdominal pain. Aspirin is harmful to abdominal pain, and narcotic analgesics can mask symptoms and interfere with diagnosis. Therefore, when abdominal pain occurs, whether it is a boy or a girl, you should take the right medicine for the symptoms. If the effect does not improve, go to the hospital for examination immediately. Do not bear it and ignore it, so as not to aggravate the condition.
