What Causes Sudden Pain In Stomach Of 3 Year Old At Night?
Hi my 3 year old son has woken in the middle of the night screaming and crying. He keeps saying owwee and pointing to his stomach. He cant be distracted from the pain and my attempts to settle him have all failed. He stops crying and goes silent occasionally but this lasts no longer than 1 minute before he is screaning and crying again. This has been going on for over and hour now and i am beginning to get concerned.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having intestinal colic giving frequent spasmodic pain.
This can be due to some food difficult to digest.
Give him Meftal spas or Coli-carmin syrup to get relief from pain.
If problem persisted then in the morning consult your doctor.
Ok and take care.
