Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what's causing the abdominal spasms in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition may be caused by localized muscle twitching or spasms, which generally does not require treatment and can resolve on its own. It is recommended to follow a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Drink plenty of water.Your condition may also be due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Generally, bleeding of 50ml or more can cause black stools. It is advisable to undergo an endoscopy (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) to confirm the diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment.
