Patient's question:
The child always has stomach pain, mainly around the navel, and it hurts whether the stomach is contracted or relaxed. I don't know what's wrong. I hope the expert can give me a good diagnosis and suggest a treatment plan. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Common causes of abdominal pain in children are as follows:1. Intestinal worms, which can be detected by checking for eggs in the stool, and can be treated with medications like Intestinal Worm Clear.
2. Intestinal spasm, which is related to constitution and diet, and should be adjusted accordingly.
3. Mesenteric lymphadenitis.
4. Mesenteric cysts, which should be examined with ultrasound.
5. Chronic appendicitis, which can be diagnosed with barium enema appendicography.
6. Other causes include malrotation of the intestine, hemorrhoids, and rectal diverticulitis, which should be evaluated with intestinal imaging tests.
