Hi,

Whatever you are describing is called Chronic Pain Abdomen in medical terms. The differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children varies with age, gender, genetic predisposition, nutritional exposure and many environmental factors.

The causes are many including:

- constipation / acid peptic disorders / inflammatory bowel disorders / irritable bowel syndrome / worm infestation. I suggest you see your pediatrician or a pediatric gastroenterologist for this.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).
