Patient's question:
The child complains of stomach pain every few days. When the pain occurs, they cry, but it usually subsides quickly. They remain energetic and have normal dinner times as well as normal bowel movements. The pain sometimes happens during a nap in the middle of the night, sometimes while eating dinner, and sometimes during physical activities at kindergarten. It's not every day; the pain occurs randomly, with no specific pattern. What could be the cause of this? What specific tests should be done at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described about the baby: The frequent severe abdominal pain in children is often caused by swollen mesenteric lymph nodes. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound examination. If the upper abdominal pain persists, it should still be considered as gastrointestinal cold exposure! If there is pain around the navel or in the right lower abdomen, appendicitis should be ruled out, and it may also be mesenteric lymphadenitis. It is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital. Wishing the baby a healthy, happy, and joyful transformation! The above suggestions are for the question "The child says stomach pain every few days," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
