Patient's question:
Boy, 6 and a half years old, weighing 18 kilograms, height 1.12 meters, has never had a big appetite since childhood. Sometimes, while eating, he says his stomach hurts.Doctor's answer:
Causes of Pediatric Abdominal Pain Sudden abdominal pain in children is a common occurrence. There are several common diseases that can cause acute abdominal pain, all of which have a rapid onset and rapid progression. Children with this condition often have poor hygiene habits when eating, such as not washing their hands before meals or after using the bathroom, eating raw fruits without sufficient rinsing or even without rinsing at all. They may appear normally fed but are still very thin. When the environment changes, or when the child has a fever, diarrhea, hunger, or consumes irritating foods, sudden abdominal pain may occur. The child may cry, roll around, bend their body, sweat profusely, and have pale skin, with the pain being most severe around the navel. It is essential to seek hospital treatment promptly. 5.
