Urgent care for tummy aches in children

Urgent Care
When is a tummy ache serious?
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
