Question

Why does a 5-year-old child often complain of abdominal pain but no cause is found during hospital checks?

Answer

If this situation arises, first, pay attention to the possibility of intestinal parasites, also be aware of indigestion, and note whether the mesenteric lymph nodes are inflamed. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up. If there is upper abdominal pain, it needs to be diagnosed and treated promptly; if lower abdominal pain occurs multiple times and is not due to the child’s gastrointestinal indigestion, some digestives can be given to the child, and at the same time, precautions should be taken to avoid the child catching a cold.
