What is wrong with a three-year-old child's stomach ache?

Both adults and children will have stomachaches sometimes, especially three-year-old children. They are very young and do not know much about hygiene issues. If you are not careful, they like to eat things with their hands, and they like to kick the quilt when they sleep at night. Therefore, many three-year-old children will have stomachaches. Children with stomachaches will be more annoying and parents will be more upset. Sometimes there are many reasons for stomach pain. If you want to find the cause, you need to observe carefully.

Stomachache is a common symptom among many children, so parents should pay more attention to what to do when their children have stomachache. There are many reasons why children have stomachache, so when you want to know what to do when your child has stomachache, you should first find out the cause.

1. Abdominal pain due to cold. Many children often experience abdominal pain in the summer, and the attacks are frequent, but there is always no problem when they go to the hospital for examination. In fact, this kind of stomach pain is not necessarily caused by certain diseases. If the child is sensitive to heat and likes to sleep naked in the summer or often exposes his belly, these reasons may cause stomach pain. Children who often sleep naked in the summer have a thin abdominal wall around their navel and their rectus abdominis muscles are in a split state. Sleeping without a blanket will stimulate the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines to be stimulated by the cold, causing strong contractions and spasmodic abdominal pain. Moreover, a cold abdomen will accelerate intestinal motility and increase the frequency of bowel movements, but without mucus, pus or blood, and stool tests will also be normal. Therefore, when it comes to the question of what to do if a child has a stomachache, experts point out that we must first prevent the child's abdomen from catching a cold, and make sure to wrap the child's abdomen well when the child is sleeping, even in the hot summer. If it is a baby, you must take extra measures to keep the abdomen warm. When taking the baby outdoors or basking in the sun, you must also pay attention to protecting the abdomen.

2. Gastrointestinal growing pains. Some children have special abdominal pains, which often occur before or after going to bed at night. The pain is relatively mild, but they cannot accurately point out where it hurts when asked. After a period of pain, the pain will gradually improve until it disappears. Regarding this situation, experts pointed out that this is actually gastrointestinal growing pain, which is a physiological pain. During the growth and development process of a child, in addition to the bones growing and thickening "day and night", the internal organs such as the gastrointestinal tract are also growing "non-stop". Moreover, since the gastrointestinal tract is rich in blood vessels, the smooth muscles that make up it need a lot of blood supply. Bob, who is growing taller quickly, cannot get blood to the gastrointestinal tract in time, which leads to imbalance of excitation and inhibition of the intestinal wall nerves, making the gastrointestinal smooth muscles prone to spasmodic contractions and causing abdominal pain. This kind of abdominal pain is a normal phenomenon during the child's growth process, so parents do not need to worry too much. When the child has abdominal pain, parents can gently massage the baby's abdomen, or use a hot water bottle to heat the abdomen, and the abdominal pain will generally disappear.
