Intestinal spasm is a paroxysmal abdominal pain caused by strong contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestinal wall, which is most common in children.
The main clinical manifestation of intestinal spasm is abdominal pain, especially the pain around the umbilicus, the degree of pain varies, mild cases can be self-healing, serious cases need symptomatic treatment, infants and children intestinal spasm often aggravated by crying. If the intestinal spasm is caused by organic lesions, the original disease should be treated first and antispasmodics should be given at the same time. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods to stimulate the intestines. Women who are breastfeeding are not recommended to consume gas-producing foods such as dairy products, fish and eggs; this diet structure can significantly improve the symptoms of intestinal cramps in infants. Also pay attention to keeping the feet warm. When the cold energy in the body is too strong and poorly expelled, colic is easily induced.
Therefore, the treatment of intestinal spasms should be considered from two aspects: simple spasms can be regulated by diet, while organic ones need to be treated for the primary disease and given antispasmodic drugs for symptomatic treatment.
