What Causes Stomach Pain With Headaches?

Hello. My 5 year old daughter complains of stomach pain nearly every day. She says it is right over or on the top of her belly button. Her teacher says she naps 3-4 times per day and complains also of headaches. She seems to have a normal appetite, but the stomach pain has not gone on for a few weeks. Not sure if it s time to see her pediatrician

Pediatrician,  's  Response
if there is no any other complaints like fever, bowel disturbances, urinary symptoms etc associated with stomach pain and if your child has stomach pain which subsides by itself within few minutes and does require any medication for same then it is likely functional (no significant internal abnormality) pain. u should see a pediatrician who will examine ur child's abdomen and can tell u if he needs any investigations or not. the other two symptoms does look related to stomach pain. those two symptoms headache and increased sleep during day time may be due to improper sleep at night. u should see a pediatrician as it will help decrease ur anxiety.
