What should I do if a 12-year-old child has stomach pain?

As people's quality of life improves, their daily diets have become more diverse, but this is not a good thing, because as people's diets become more disordered, the chance of gastrointestinal diseases also increases, especially for children with poor physical fitness. Stomach pain is the most common condition and it often occurs in children. So, what should you do if your 12-year-old child has stomach pain?

First, what should you do if a 12-year-old child has stomachache? Eat something: Stomachache is often caused by hunger. At this time, if there are soft foods, eating some, such as bread, biscuits, etc. is very helpful. You can also drink some water, especially hot water. But don't drink milk or eat hard food. You can buy some soda crackers and put them in your desk in case of emergency. Give some warmth: People with cold stomachs often suffer from attacks due to stimulation by cold food. At this time, drinking some hot water or applying a hot water bag to the stomach for a while will have a more obvious effect.

Second, stand with bent knees: stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, place your hands lightly on your knees, and bend your body slightly forward. Take a deep breath, and when you exhale, slowly contract your abdominal muscles so that they become concave, but don't force it, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable. Maintain this position for 5 to 20 seconds without holding your breath, then expel the gas from your lungs and relax your muscles. Repeat 4 to 7 times. This movement is very helpful in relieving indigestion and constipation.

What should you do if a 12-year-old child has stomachache? Push-ups: Lie prone (on the bed or floor), relax your whole body, touch your forehead to the ground, straighten your legs, bend your hands and place them at shoulder level, with your elbows close to your body and your palms facing down. Support yourself with your hands, and lift your head and chest, keeping your legs still on the ground, until you feel your chest and abdomen fully expanded. Hold this position for about 10 seconds. Repeat 3 to 5 times. This can eliminate bloating, relieve constipation, exercise the back muscles, and is helpful for spinal correction. You can do some self-massage to temporarily relieve stomach pain, such as rubbing the Neiguan point, pressing the Zusanli point, and massaging the abdomen. Rub Nei Guan: Nei Guan acupoint is located in the middle of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers (the width of three fingers put together) away from the transverse wrist line, and the acupoint is located between the two tendons. Use your thumbs to massage and circle the area 36 times, alternating between your hands. When pain occurs, increase the number to 200 times.
