Question

If a child frequently complains of abdominal pain, what tests are needed? What diseases could it be?

Answer

There are many reasons why a child often says they have stomach pain, most of which are due to accidental dietary issues. For example, if a child eats rotten or unclean food, or consumes inappropriate foods, eats too much cold food, it can lead to intestinal spasm, enteritis, or acute pancreatitis, thereby causing the child’s stomach pain. If a child frequently complains of abdominal pain, it is recommended that parents help the child receive timely treatment and pay more attention to their child’s eating habits. Sometimes parents may give their child spoiled or unclean food, which could also cause stomach pain, diarrhea, and bloating. Additionally, some babies may develop stomach pain due to poor hygiene, such as not washing hands before or after meals or not properly absorbing food. Therefore, parents need to pay more attention to ensure that their child eats cleanly and cultivate good hygiene habits.
