What causes a child's abdomen to shake when they hiccup?

Patient's question:

Question: A 8-year-old child has a stomach that makes sounds like hiccups, twitching once at a time. There is no hiccuping from the mouth or throat, no pain or discomfort. Normally, when we hiccup, the throat and mouth make a sound, and the stomach also trembles. But my child only has the stomach trembling. When sitting quietly, it happens. Should we go to the children's hospital to have the doctor listen to the heart? They said there's nothing wrong with the heart. Is it a heart problem, a stomach problem, or something else? We are considering whether to go to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

You're not very clear in your description. You can take a picture to see. If it's done and there are no symptoms, just trembling in the abdomen. It's necessary to have a thorough check-up at the hospital, pay attention to having an electroencephalogram to see if the child has any abnormalities. In this situation, don't take any oral medication at home casually. It's necessary to have a comprehensive evaluation and check-up at the hospital. The above is advice for the question "Why does a 8-year-old child's abdomen tremble when they hiccup?", hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
