Abdominal Pain in Children: Symptoms Parents Must Not Overlook
1. Digestive system disorders such as constipation, inflammation, or gastritis—commonly found in Thai children due to Helicobacter pylori infection, food allergies, or acid reflux disease.
2. Biliary, liver, and pancreatic diseases such as cholecystitis, bile duct stones, hepatitis, and pancreatitis.
Children may experience pain in the upper abdomen or under the right rib cage, along with jaundice. Though rare, these conditions can be dangerous.
3. Reproductive system diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease or ovarian cysts.
Children may have recurring lower abdominal pain.
4. Urinary tract diseases caused by congenital anomalies or kidney stones.
Symptoms include blood in the urine. Without timely treatment, these may lead to infections or kidney failure.
5. Intestinal obstruction in children may result from intussusception.
Children often suffer from severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension.
6. Appendicitis
Children may have a fever, pain in the lower right abdomen, and vomiting. Urgent surgery is required.
Delayed diagnosis may lead to a ruptured appendix, which can be life-threatening.
7. Stress-induced abdominal pain
Children may experience chronic and vague abdominal pain. It’s important to identify the root cause, as it could indicate more serious hidden conditions.
