Question
My son used to have a good constitution, but since he started kindergarten, I’ve noticed his health seems to be getting worse. As soon as he gets home from kindergarten, he says his stomach hurts. Initially, I didn’t think it was a stomach problem, but since he always has stomach pain, we’ve gone to the hospital and found out it’s stomach pain. What are the possible causes of children’s stomach pain?
Answer
If a child has stomach pain with cramps, it is more likely to be related to gastric spasm, possibly due to catching a cold or improper diet. If the child also experiences symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn, it may be related to chronic gastritis and other causes. It is necessary to consult the baby’s attending physician based on the hospital’s examination results and follow the doctor’s orders for treatment. In daily life, pay attention to eating light and regularly, and prevent catching a cold through diet.
