Question
A child has been reporting abdominal pain for over a month, but it doesn’t disrupt their dinner or playtime. After detailed blood tests and color Doppler ultrasound, no abnormalities were found. Despite taking medication for mesenteric lymphadenitis for about half a month, the symptoms have not subsided. Two months ago, the child was pushed down from the second floor by a shopping cart at a convenience store, sustaining an injury to the back or waist at the time, with no bruising and no detailed examination. I would like to ask if there is a connection between the abdominal pain and the fall?
Answer
Given the child’s history of trauma, it is necessary to conduct relevant detailed examinations to confirm whether the abdominal pain is related to the injury. It is recommended to further inspect the abdominal condition and the specifics of the injured area for appropriate treatment. This is a suggestion for handling situations where a child frequently complains of abdominal pain without interfering with their dinner or playtime, hoping it will be helpful to you, and wishing you health!
