What to do if your child has pain around the belly button

Pain around a child’s belly button is a common disease in early childhood. It can cause great harm to the child, so we must pay attention to daily care and health care. So what should we do if a child has pain around his belly button? In daily life, there are many reasons why children suffer from pain around their belly buttons, which many parents are puzzled about. Let’s take a closer look at the causes of pain around the belly button. The general symptom is pain in the right lower abdomen. Children under 3 years old will have abdominal pain and obvious abdominal distension, accompanied by vomiting. There is tenderness in the entire abdomen and they do not allow touch. They may have a fever of more than 38 degrees. Children aged 2 or 3 should pay more attention to this because it is easy to cause perforation and peritonitis.

Children of different ages have different intestinal obstructions. A child who has suffered from fetal peritonitis may also suffer from intestinal obstruction. Children who have undergone abdominal surgery may also develop adhesive intestinal obstruction. The symptoms are intermittent pain around the navel, accompanied by vomiting, vomiting undigested food, and small children vomiting milk curds and then vomiting bile-like substances. Sometimes, the child's intestines can be clearly seen in rows, and there are tender spots on the abdomen when touched (pain in random locations that cannot be touched).

Enteritis mainly causes pain in the entire lower abdomen centered around the navel, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. The stomach feels soft and there is no fixed tenderness point. Enteritis is usually caused by eating unclean food. Just pay attention to food hygiene in daily life. This is also the cause of stomach pain in children, so everyone must pay attention.

I hope that the above analysis of the causes of pain around the belly button can help parents. I also hope that parents will not be anxious when their children experience the above-mentioned discomfort. They must take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. Family members should also give their children encouragement and care so that their children can get rid of the troubles of the disease as soon as possible. Only in this way can the disease be cured as soon as possible and the patient can get out of the shadow of the disease.
