What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pains In Children?
my 4 yr old had tummy hurts since yesterday. His ped said that he had stomach virus infection. But after came back from the Dr. office, he kept complaining and can t fall into sleep during the night, he woke me up and told me tummy still hurts a lot. I am worried. Does it look like something more serious than a simple stomach flu? thanks

Hi,
If there is no other symptoms like fever, loose stools or vomiting, we need not worry. Just give him Paracetamol or Ibuprofen to control pain. We can evaluate further if pain is not coming down in 3 days or above said symptoms appear.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
