Pediatric dyspepsia generally refers to functional dyspepsia in children, which is one of the most common clinical syndromes in pediatric gastroenterology. It is characterized by persistent or recurrent symptoms of digestive dysfunction such as postprandial fullness, early satiety, anorexia, belching, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, epigastric burning sensation, or acid reflux, but with organic lesions excluded after examination.
View detailsChildhood epilepsy
Pediatric epilepsy, commonly known as "sheep wind," is a common neurological syndrome in children characterized by complex etiologies and recurrent seizures. It is primarily caused by incomplete development of the nervous system in children, leading to excessive and abnormal discharges in the cerebral cortex due to stimulation. Most cases of pediatric epilepsy occur during the preschool period, with infancy being the first peak period for epilepsy onset. Approximately 50% of cases begin before the age of 5. Clinical manifestations include recurrent muscle spasms, and transient abnormalities in consciousness, sensation, and emotion.

View detailsBronchitis in children
Pediatric bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial mucosa caused by infections and other factors, usually secondary to upper respiratory tract infections. Due to incomplete growth and development, children are anatomically more prone to respiratory system infections than adults, and their immune function is also weaker, making them more susceptible to bronchitis. Common symptoms of pediatric bronchitis include coughing and expectoration.
View detailsPediatric cough
Cough is a common and complex defensive reflex activity of the respiratory system that helps the body clear foreign bodies or mucus from the lungs and airways. There are many causes of cough, and inflammation, foreign bodies, physical or chemical irritation of the respiratory tract and pleura can all cause coughing. Pediatric cough is not a miniature version of adult cough, and has its own unique etiological characteristics. Acute cough in children is often caused by respiratory viral infections. The top three causes of chronic cough in children are cough variant asthma, upper airway cough syndrome, and post-respiratory infection cough. Frequent coughing can adversely affect children's learning, work, and rest, increase their anxiety, and is detrimental to their physical and mental health, requiring timely and reasonable intervention measures from doctors and parents. According to the condition, pediatric cough can be divided into the following three categories: Acute cough: Refers to a cough lasting less than 2 weeks, mostly occurring in upper and lower respiratory tract infections caused by various microorganisms and acute exacerbations of asthma. Protracted (or subacute) cough: Refers to a cough lasting more than 2 weeks but less than 4 weeks. In addition to respiratory infections, it can also occur in bacterial sinusitis and asthma. Chronic cough: Refers to a cough lasting more than 4 weeks.
