What to do if your child has a stomachache

Children have very cute chubby faces, which can melt our hearts. However, children have relatively weak resistance and often suffer from minor illnesses. Abdominal pain is a common phenomenon in children, which makes mothers very anxious but they don’t know what to do. When mothers encounter their children's stomachache, they can use the following methods to relieve the baby's stomachache.

Abdominal pain is one of the most common symptoms in children. There are many causes of abdominal pain, almost involving various diseases. It can be a lesion of the abdominal organs or an extra-abdominal lesion; it can be organic or functional; it can be a medical disease or a surgical disease, or even be a medical disease at first but later develops into a surgical disease. In terms of treatment methods, some abdominal pain requires surgery urgently, while some abdominal pain does not require surgery;

Some abdominal pain is initially treated conservatively and then requires surgical treatment. For those who urgently need surgical treatment, misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis and delayed surgery can cause serious consequences or even endanger their lives. On the contrary, for those who do not need surgery, performing unnecessary surgery will not only increase the patient's pain, but may even aggravate the condition. Therefore, the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children should be taken very seriously.

1. Etiological treatment: Provide appropriate treatment based on the cause of the disease. If intestinal spasm occurs, give antispasmodics. Biliary ascariasis or ascariasis partial intestinal obstruction can be treated with antispasmodics and analgesics. Inflammatory diseases should be treated with effective antibiotics based on the cause. Surgical acute abdomen should be treated promptly with surgery.

(II) Symptomatic treatment:

1. For those with water and electrolyte imbalance or shock, water and electrolyte imbalance should be corrected and anti-shock treatment should be given in time.

2. Before the cause of the disease is diagnosed, morphine, pethidine, atropine and other drugs are prohibited to avoid delaying the diagnosis. Laxatives or enemas are contraindicated in patients with suspected intestinal perforation, intestinal obstruction, or appendicitis.

According to the above statements, our mothers don’t have to worry so much. In fact, this is a common problem for children. In this way, we can find the cause of the child’s stomachache, and then treat it according to the cause of the stomachache, then there will be no problem. It is the wish of mothers for their children to grow up healthily, but experience is also required. I hope mothers have learned it.
