Why Child Is Complaining Of Stomach Pain Right Before Bed Time?

my seven year old son has recently been complaining of stomach pain only right before bed time lately...We are feeling like it is related to a new baby sister and getting used to a sibling being in the home.. but are there any things we should look for to make sure it is not something more serious?

Hi,
thanks for writing to hcm.
i understand your problem. your son could be experiencing sibling rivalry since he was the only child or a long time. kindly ask time the nature of pain ,site of pain and whether associated with fever. also ask him if he experiences it at school or not. usually children when they come home need parental attention as they are not occupied with friends after school hours . probably you could give him equal attention as the baby sister. engage him in more sports activities in the evening and other extracurricular activities to divert his min. counsel him and make him understand both children are equally important. if the pain occurs at other times also then kindly take him to paediatrician to rule out common causes like pain due to worm infestation . you could probably give him a deworming tablet.
take care
