What could be the reason for sudden discomfort near the navel at the age of 7?

Patient's question:

My child is 7 years old this year. Last night, he suddenly felt uncomfortable around the navel. I don't know what's wrong with it. I would like to ask the doctor for an explanation. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

7 years old, suddenly felt uncomfortable around the navel at night. In this case, you can take some digestive aid medication orally; wait for a while; if this pain occurs frequently, you should go to the hospital for a stool examination to check for roundworm eggs. If there are any, it is roundworm disease, and you can be treated with deworming medication; if the test is normal and this situation occurs occasionally with abdominal pain, it may also be intestinal spasm. Taking some spasm-relieving medication should be fine, but my previous answer may not have been helpful to you.
