What Causes Stomach Ache In A Child?

My 7 year old eats no vegetables and very little fruit, she is very pale with dark circles under her eyes (which runs in my family) but I think she paler than usual with darker circles, she seems to find it difficult to drift off to sleep also. She complains that she has tummy pain from time to time too, but when the GP checks her tummy everything seems ok.

Hi,
Looking to the history as she is having stomach pain and marked pallor indicates that she might be having worm infestation.
Go for stool test for ova and cyst.
After report go for anti worm medicine like Albendazole 200 mg. stat.
Give her some iron tonic as well.
Give her high protein nourishing diet.
Ok and take care.
