Medical Professional Answers Needed: Does a “cold” Tummy Cause Problems?
Question by Shiningami_Gurl: Medical Professional answers needed: Does a “cold” tummy cause problems?
Ok I live in China and my hubby is Chinese and we are getting into a BIG fight over this at the moment. Our 1yr old daughter woke up vomiting, gagging, drenched in sweat and just not her perky self. He insists that it’s because she kicked off her covers and that gave her a stomach ache. He also tells me that if we go to the doctors that once he explains to the doctor that she slept without blankets- the doctor will agree with him and simply say nothing is wrong.
He tells me that I am stupid if I just tell the doctor the symptoms and none of the ‘things that caused it’ because then the doctor would get the “diagnosis” wrong!! While I on the other hand believe that the doctor should ACTUALLY do his job and examine a patient, test, gather all the information and rely on his medical training to make the diagnosis. To rely on a lay person to diagnose themselves basically is plain BAD MEDICINE.
Everyone here seems to think that drinking cold drinks, cold air on your stomach and not wearing enough clothes is going to make your stomach sick…while I claim it’s the poor sanitation, the fact that they don’t refrigerate their meats or worse still they leave food out for a week and still eat it.
