What are the reasons for abdominal pain in children

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: Abdominal pain often occurs around the navel, sometimes in the epigastric region, mostly during meals, not too severe. During this period, I had two episodes of fever and cold, with high fever reaching around 39°C, and also experienced hallucinations.
Duration and course of the current illness: Half a month, lasting only a few minutes each time.
Current general condition: Mental state is good.
Previous medical history and treatment: When I visited the doctor for a cold, they said it was stomach spasm.

Doctor's answer:

The baby has intermittent abdominal pain, which may be caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis or gastrointestinal gas. Based on your description, the abdominal pain in the baby is likely due to a digestive system issue. There are many possible causes, and corresponding tests are needed to rule them out one by one, such as checking a stool routine to rule out helminth infection, and an abdominal ultrasound to determine if it is caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis or gastrointestinal gas. It is important to note that the baby can be given more water, avoid snacks, and focus on easily digestible foods. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment can be administered. In daily life, massaging the baby's abdomen can help promote intestinal digestion and movement, which can effectively control the occurrence of abdominal pain.
