What should I do if my child always complains of stomachache?

Children have poor resistance, so they are prone to diseases. Many children always complain of stomachaches in certain seasons. Moreover, they are still relatively young, and parents don’t know what to do with what their children say. Although stomachache is not a serious problem, if it is not treated in time, it will cause many complications. In this regard, parents should pay attention to the treatment of their children. First of all, they clearly know what to do if the child always says stomachache?

If the child himself is not fully able to express his illness, then you need to observe more and pay more attention to the following points for the treatment of the child;

1. The pain time should be caused by improper diet or cold, various infections, you can look for the cause;

2. The location of pain. Generally, stomach pain will occur in the upper and middle abdomen. However, since the abdominal area of ​​children is very small, some pain will manifest as the whole abdomen. They cannot point out the location clearly. In this case, the child can lie down and the parents can touch the belly with their hands. If the child cries a lot, it means that the pain is very severe. Refusing to touch is a sign of severe abdominal pain.

3. There are also general symptoms, such as poor appetite, vomiting after eating, feeling nauseous, and being tired of the food he liked in the past; whether he needs to defecate when he has abdominal pain, and if he does, pay attention to the stool characteristics;

4. Finally, very special surgical conditions must be excluded, namely acute appendicitis and pediatric intestinal obstruction. Both of these conditions also manifest as upper abdominal pain at the beginning, so they must be closely observed. Generally, upper abdominal pain in children is mostly caused by improper diet and cold. You can keep the child warm in time and give him some digestive medicine, and do abdominal massage in a clockwise direction with the navel as the center. If the child continues to cry after active treatment and refuses to have his abdomen pressed, seek medical attention immediately.

If a child always complains of stomach pain, it is very likely that the child has a stomach disease.
