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.
What Does Constant Pain In Head And Abdomen Of A Child Suggest?
Hi My daughter is 7 and she complains of headaches and tummy aches constantly. Its always when she wakes up and after she goes to bed she calls us into her room. Now i dont know if she is actually feeling pain because she doesnt act like shes sick. She recently been complaining at school and i had to go pick her up at school early because of it. Ive taken her to her doctor and they couldnt find anything wrong with her. They had us cut milk out of her diet we did that and nothing had changed. I need help with this because im starting to believe it might be psychological.
I do agree with you that we should think about a psychological component. But at the same time, I would do that after ruling out hyperparathyroidism with the help of your pediatrician, please. Please rule out hyperparathyroidism before thinking that it is non-organic or psychological.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
