Suggest Treatment For Stomach Tightness With Pain In Kids

I have a one and a half year-old that woke up screaming in pain. His stomach is tight and it s obvious that his stomach is hurting him. When should I be concerned that it is something other than gas and needs medical attention? Is there anything I can do to try and relieve his discomfort other than gas drops and tummy massage?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Your child could be suffering from gastritis although there could be many other reasons. Try giving decolic or coliza drops and see if it is releived. Give small but frequent meals. If not resolved or if associated with passage of loose stool or vomiting, consult your doctor. I would not suggest tummy massage.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
