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 and bowel movements. The pain sometimes happens during naps in the middle of the night, sometimes while eating dinner, or sometimes during physical activities at kindergarten. It's not every day; the pain occurs randomly, with no specific pattern of how often it happens. What could be the cause? What specific tests should be done at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described about your baby: The frequent severe abdominal pain in children is often caused by swollen mesenteric lymph nodes. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound examination. If the upper abdominal pain persists, it should still be considered as the gastrointestinal tract being affected by cold! 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 advised to have an abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital. Wishing your 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!
