What should I do if my child has a stomachache?

Patient's question:

My son has been experiencing intermittent stomach pain for nearly a month now. We've had him undergo an ultrasound, blood tests, and urine and stool tests, but everything came back normal. However, the pain persists without interruption. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

The child complains of stomach pain every time they eat. First, consider whether it is due to intestinal cramps or poor gastrointestinal digestive function. You can use a warm water bottle to warm the child's abdomen. You can also give the child a period of time to take medicine to regulate the gastrointestinal digestive function. Pay more attention to the diet in daily life and give the child some warm and easily digestible foods. Another situation to be vigilant about is the possibility of parasites. It is best to take the child to the hospital in time to check a stool routine. If there are eggs, medication should be used promptly to expel the parasites.
