Question
Recently, my child has been complaining about abdominal pain, and they have also started experiencing diarrhea. What could be the cause of this situation?
Answer
Children with abdominal pain and diarrhea symptoms are usually caused by super bad conditions. Some people worry that their child isn’t eating enough or that they’re not getting enough nutrition, so they blindly choose to diet. Gastrointestinal dysfunction in children may also be caused by symptoms related to their belly and coldness, especially when sleeping at night, one should not let the child’s belly get cold. Such a situation in children is likely due to digestive issues, as well as possibly from some form of enteritis or gastritis. It could also be due to contaminated food, resulting in infection or food poisoning.
