Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Often have stomach painDoctor's answer:
Some children often experience stomach pain when hungry or after meals, with the pain located in the upper abdomen or around the navel. They may also frequently regurgitate acid, burp frequently, or suddenly have black, tarry stools, which could be signs of peptic ulcer.Some children with stomach pain may also have fever, cough, or diarrhea, which could indicate a respiratory or intestinal infection. Children with poor hygiene habits may experience intermittent stomach pain, possibly due to roundworms.
In some children, skin rashes, especially on the legs, appear a few days before stomach pain, which may suggest allergic purpura.
Some children may experience stomach pain after intense exercise, accompanied by vomiting, sweating, and pale complexion. This is likely due to lack of exercise and acute gastrointestinal ischemia, which can be relieved by resting for a while.
If a child has persistent stomach pain for more than 2 hours, experiences frequent attacks, has abdominal tenderness, significant abdominal distension, frequent vomiting accompanied by fever, it may be a sign of a surgical condition and should be taken to the hospital immediately.
