hi
welcome to the healthcare Majic
my name is Dr Ehsan
I have gone through your query regarding your kid's upper abdominal pain
in the central region below the
rib cage
the key conditions associated with this central upper abdominal pain are
-gastric irritation or Gastritis
-peptic ulceration
-irritable bowels
-diseases of
Pancreas
&
gall bladder
-there are some other pathologies but those are related to
older patients not kids
check also for the kid
all you need is to have a clinical evaluation of the kid
by
GP or paediatrician.
