Abdominal Pain In Children

Your child has belly pain but does not seem to be constipated. That is good. Remember, to prevent constipation, make sure your child eats lots of fruits and vegetables, drinks lots of water, and gets regular exercise every day.

Do any of these statements describe your child?

  • His pain is in the upper part of his belly.

  • He describes the pain as burning.

  • He complains of a bad taste in his mouth.

Yes, these statements describe my child.

No, those statements don't describe my child.
