      Children and Stomach Pain

      It would be rare indeed if your child never got a stomach ache, as this is one of

      the most common problems children complain about. There can many things

      that can cause stomach pain, and sometimes it may require a visit to the doctor to

      find out the cause. The stomach ache could be caused by food, insect bites,

      infections, poisoning etc.

      What Causes Stomach Pain

      A virus or bacteria also cause many stomach pains. The stomach flu or

      gastroenteritis may cause stomach pain. Gastroenteritis is caused by

      inflammation and irritation of the stomach and the gastrointestinal passage.

      When traveling you must use extra care, as the food or drinks may be

      contaminated at some places that don't practice good hygiene. This can lead to a

      case of diarrhea and stomach pain.

      If the stomach pain is caused by a viral infection, it will normally pass quickly but

      bacterial infections will require the use of antibiotics. In either of these cases

      these cases, some children will recover rapidly by vomiting and excreting. If your

      child has a case of diarrhea, you need to give them plenty of fluids to avoid

      dehydration.

      Food Poisoning

      Some food related stomach pains can be due to food poisoning,
