What Causes Chronic Stomach Pain In A Child?

My daughter is 4 yrs old and constantly complains of stomach pain. Last week she vomited in her sleep and wouldn t have woken up if i didn t come in her room. I believe it has something to do with chocolate or sugar but I m not sure. It is really affecting our lives and I am concerned.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
The most common cause of abdominal pain in this age group is constipation. Keep a close eye on her bowel movements (how often, texture, comfort, etc...) Minor adjustments to the diet can resolve this issue. If the pain persists, I recommend consulting with your doctor.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
4 years old girl child with constant stomach pain may be due to urinary tract infection, Amoebic colitis,worm infestation and several other causes.
Cyclopam syrup 3 times daily temporarily relieves abdominal pain.
But you need to fix the diagnosis consulting a pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
