Question
A four-year-old girl often experiences abdominal pain at home and in kindergarten. How should this be handled?
Answer
Abdominal pain in children can be caused by a variety of factors, including gastrointestinal issues, infections, and intestinal parasites. In such cases, it is recommended that parents observe their child’s symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to take the child to a doctor for a detailed examination and diagnosis. Additionally, parents can take some general measures, such as maintaining good hygiene in their child’s diet, avoiding overeating or consuming overly irritating foods to reduce the occurrence of abdominal pain. If the child has diarrhea, it is important to replenish fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.
