Question
How to relieve abdominal pain in a child?
Answer
Abdominal pain in a 6-year-old child could be due to overeating or acute pancreatitis. For overeating-related abdominal pain, you can try taking some digestives to aid digestion; for acute pancreatitis, immediate fasting and medical attention are necessary, as it can lead to severe complications such as hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, which may even result in shock and death. Parents should pay attention to their child’s dietary habits, avoid excessive intake of fatty and indigestible foods, and promptly treat worm infections to prevent the occurrence of acute pancreatitis.
