Question
The child has been crying and fussing frequently lately, with an unusual abdominal twitch. The doctor’s examination did not find any abnormalities. What could this be?
Answer
Abdominal spasms may be caused by regional muscle spasms, resulting in muscle jumps or twitches, which usually do not require special treatment and can often heal on their own. Diet should be kept light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and drinking plenty of water. If the condition persists or worsens, it is recommended to undergo a gastroscopy or colonoscopy to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
