Patient's question:
My child is five years old. He often has stomach pain, which comes in waves. It usually starts right after eating and also occurs every morning after meals. Sometimes it happens after lunch or dinner too. His appetite is good, and his bowel movements are normal. When he was younger, he cried a lot, and now that he can talk, he always says his stomach hurts, specifically around the navel.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The above situation is primarily considered to be caused by stomach problems or calcium deficiency.Recommendations: Clinically, it is suggested to test for trace elements to determine if the intestinal cramps are caused by calcium deficiency. If necessary, a gastroscopy should be performed to rule out the possibility of gastritis. By combining clinical findings to identify the cause, targeted treatment can be administered to achieve the best therapeutic outcome.
