What to Do If a Child Has Stomach Pain While Eating?

A child experiences stomach pain while eating, which has persisted for about half a year. However, the episodes are not prolonged and resolve on their own. The child has previously tried traditional Chinese medicine with some relief. A stool test was conducted, and the results were normal. It is best to consult a hospital for further examination regarding the cause of pediatric abdominal pain. Common causes include: 1. Intestinal parasitic infection, which can be diagnosed through intestinal motility tests and oral administration of intestinal parasites; 2. Intestinal spasm related to physical constitution and diet, which may require dietary adjustments; 3. Mesenteric lymphadenitis; 4. Mesenteric cyst, which can be determined through ultrasound; 5. Chronic appendicitis, which may require barium enema or appendiceal examination; 6. Intestinal malrotation, and pediatric diverticulitis, among others.
