Child has stomachache at night

If there are children at home, parents will pay close attention to any slight changes in their bodies, especially at night when the children are sleeping. If there is any problem with the children's body, parents will often be very worried. Moreover, children do not have their own control when eating. Eating too much or unclean food can easily cause stomachache. So what should children do when they have stomachache at night?

First, look at abdominal pain from the perspective of age: age is a relatively important distinguishing factor. For children under three years old, who simply cry because they do not know how to express themselves, parents should pay attention to observe their children's symptoms and then explain the situation to the doctor, so observation of the condition and explanation are also important. Children at this stage are particularly susceptible to enteritis, as well as intussusception and hernia. Intestinal hernia is a common cause of abdominal pain in children under three years old and requires some investigation and diagnosis.

Secondly, look at the abdominal pain based on the characteristics of the pain: if the abdominal pain is persistent and severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. If the abdominal pain is relieved quickly and you can move around normally after it's relieved, then there is no big problem. Once again, if the relief time is long and the abdominal pain is severe, you should seek medical attention promptly.

Third, look at the nature of the stool: if there is blood in the stool, you should go to the hospital for treatment, as it may be caused by enteritis.

Fourth, look for abdominal signs: If the child's stomach is particularly bloated and hard, go to the hospital to prevent perforation or peritonitis.

Fifth, look at the accompanying symptoms: especially if accompanied by fever symptoms, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible.

As a mother, you must master all your skills, understand your baby's physical condition at all times, and deal with any physical discomfort in a timely manner.
