What are the symptoms of intestinal spasms in children

For parents, babies are their most cherished treasures, but for children, their body organs are not yet fully developed, so children will suffer from intestinal cramps at this time. So what are the symptoms?

Clinical manifestations of intestinal spasm in children

If a normally healthy child suddenly has paroxysmal, intermittent abdominal pain and no abnormal symptoms can be found, it can be diagnosed as pediatric intestinal spasm.

The child's abdominal pain may last for several minutes or dozens of minutes, coming and going. After repeated attacks for tens of minutes or hours, the abdominal pain may no longer occur. For some children, recurrent abdominal pain may last for several days. The severity of the pain varies, and in severe cases the child may roll over on the ground.

The typical symptom is abdominal pain mainly around the umbilical cord. In other words, intestinal spasm in children is pain caused by small intestinal lesions.

When spasm occurs in the proximal large intestine, the pain is in the right lower abdomen; when spasm occurs in the distal large intestine, pain occurs in the left lower abdomen; if the child has abdominal pain before defecation, it may be spasm of the descending colon or sigmoid colon.
