What is the reason why a five-year-old child always says his stomach hurts?

Patient's question:

A five-year-old child always says they have a stomachache, but when they go to the hospital, nothing is found. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it's important to check for intestinal parasites, digestive issues, and inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination. If there is upper abdominal pain, it is necessary to promptly check and diagnose and treat it. If the child frequently experiences abdominal pain, it may not be related to poor gastrointestinal digestion. In such cases, digestive tablets can be given to the child, and it is best to avoid letting the child catch a cold.
