What should I do if a child has a stomachache from eating too much?
If a child eats too much, indigestion may occur, and stomach pain could be a reaction of the digestive system. In such cases, antacid medications such as bismuth subsalicylate can be given to relieve discomfort. Additionally, it is recommended to reduce the child's food intake, improve eating habits, consume light and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and engage in regular physical activity to promote digestion. If symptoms are severe, the child should visit a pediatrician for further evaluation, identification of the underlying cause, and appropriate treatment.
