Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is 8 and has been complaining of stomach pain off and on for over a week now. She acts normal though she says her tummy hurts. Also for the last year she will eat sometimes even more then my husband, will be full and then 5 minutes later say she says she s starving. I try to encourage her to drink water and give her body more time to digest and she starts crying that her tummy is growling really bad. So then I let her sometimes choose a healthy snack. Carrots, apple slices, celery, etc. She s in the 95th percentile for weight and 80th for height.
Hi... I have just read through your question. 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 etc.
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. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
