What causes a child's stomach ache?

Pediatric intestinal spasms are common in preschool children. The abdominal pain is mainly located around the umbilicus or upper abdomen. It often occurs suddenly and the pain is short-lived, generally not exceeding 30 minutes. It may recur, and after the abdominal pain is relieved, the child's condition is normal. Since this is a physiological phenomenon in the growth process of children, not a disease, no special treatment is required.

When the child has abdominal pain, parents can let the child lie flat, flex the lower limbs, and then gently massage around the child's navel with their hands (the parent's hands should be warm); or use a hot towel, hot water bottle, etc. to apply heat to the child's navel (can be applied through clothes to avoid scalding the child). It is worth reminding that if the child refuses to let you massage her belly, or the abdominal pain cannot be relieved after massage or hot compress, or she feels more pain during massage, stop immediately and take her to see a doctor.
