Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old and often has pain in the navel. The duration of the pain is 5 to 10 minutes. They have been treated for worms several times, but the pain still occurs frequently, at least twice a day. I would like to ask what could be the reason and if there are any good solutions.Doctor's answer:
Many diseases can cause abdominal pain in children, among which intestinal fistula is the most attractive. However, intestinal fistula is not an independent disease but a manifestation of functional abdominal pain. Intestinal fistula is often characterized by sudden onset of abdominal pain, usually without a fixed pain location and sometimes mild. At times, the pain is unbearable but will naturally subside. In fact, due to insufficient blood supply caused by spasms, it can lead to intestinal spasms and spasms during swimming, ultimately resulting in muscle spasms of the intestinal wall, causing pain. Vascular spasms, local ischemia, and muscle wall spasms can form a vicious cycle until the muscles are no longer fatigued. You can naturally feel relieved. Intestinal fistula is caused by allergic factors. Compared to adults, children have poor adaptability to the environment and lack exercise, and they frequently experience various allergic reactions.
