While it is very common for children to complain of a tummy ache, we
must be mindful that there is always the possibility that urgent care will be
needed if a child complains of severe abdominal pain. Most common cases of
pediatric abdominal pain can usually be eased with rest. However, bring your
child to the nearest emergency care facility if he or she experiences any of
the following symptoms:
- A fever
- Pain in just one side
of the abdomen
- Pain when you press on
the belly
- Testicle pain
- Continued pain after a
recent injury to the abdomen
- Bloody diarrhea or
vomit
- Green vomit
- Swelling or bloating
in the abdomen
- Increasing pain
- Malaise, weakness, or
drowsiness
- Inability to walk
