What’s Causing a Child’s Abdominal Pain?

Children often experience abdominal pain without fever or diarrhea. The pain is usually located around the navel, and during the pain, they may sweat, become pale, or even roll around holding their stomach. However, the pain usually subsides on its own after a while, and the child’s eating and playing return to normal. As they grow older, the occurrence of such episodes decreases. Most cases of intestinal colic can be treated without medication or injections. If abdominal pain persists for several days, or if there is a fear of pressure or palpation on the abdomen, along with frequent vomiting, it is advisable to seek medical attention quickly to rule out diseases such as appendicitis, intussusception, bile duct worms, or intestinal obstruction.
