Why does my child keep complaining of stomach pain?
Disease description:
My younger brother always complains of stomach pain. I'm not sure whether it's because he ate something improper or if he's pretending. Could you please tell me why children often say they have stomach pain?

Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Common causes of frequent stomach pain in children mainly include: First, chronic appendicitis: children may experience intermittent stomach pain, and clinically, appendectomy can be performed for treatment. Second, gastritis: primarily caused by improper diet, treatment can include applying a warm towel compress or taking medications such as domperidone tablets or racemic anisodamine tablets. However, please note thatdomperidone tablets are recommended for use in children aged 18 years and older.
