What medicine should children take for abdominal pain

In our lives, many children are prone to gastrointestinal diseases when they are young. Because children are relatively young, their organs are not particularly mature, and their immunity is relatively poor, so they are prone to infection. At this time, they may have abdominal pain. First of all, we must rule out whether it is caused by the appendix. So what medicine should children take for abdominal pain?

1. Intestinal spasm. This is the most likely cause of stomach pain in children. In the pediatric surgery clinic of the Children's Hospital, most of the stomach pains in children are caused by pediatric intestinal spasms (intestinal cramps), which occur in children ranging from 1 or 2 years old to 11 or 12 years old. The most common age is between 4 or 5 years old and 5 or 6 years old. The main cause of intestinal cramps is improper eating (such as eating too much; eating a lot of cold food, etc.). At this time, the child has no specific tenderness points (his stomach is soft), can eat and drink, and is in good spirits. The treatment method is to take belladonna together with phenergan, chlorpheniramine, etc. When this happens, parents are very anxious, but generally there is no big problem.

2. Acute pancreatitis. Children aged 2 or 3 do not get the disease very often, but the incidence rate is relatively high in children aged 4 or 5 and above. The causes are mostly overeating, and most of them are greasy and indigestible food; pancreatitis caused by biliary ascariasis blocking the bile duct (this situation is not common); leukemia patients used L-mendomycin. The symptom is pain on the upper left side of the belly button. The parents found that the child ate a lot and had a stomachache (crossed his legs), and would not let anyone touch the upper left side of his belly button. Pancreatitis can usually be cured, but acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis can quickly lead to shock. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain (the child does not allow parents to touch his stomach), vomiting, poor mental state, and gray complexion. If rescue is not timely, it may result in death. The first step in first aid for pancreatitis is fasting, followed by adjusting the liquid diet.

3. Enteritis. The main symptom is pain in the entire lower abdomen centered around the navel, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. The stomach feels soft and there is no fixed tender point. Enteritis is usually caused by eating unclean food. Just pay attention to food hygiene in daily life.
