Description:

Abdominal pain is common in children. It is important to distinguish functional abdominal pain, which is usually centered around the belly button, from abdominal pain from more serious problems. THe more serious problems that can cause abdominal pain in children include gastroenteritis, stomach ulcers, pancreatitis, gallstones, appendicitis, kidney stones, intussusception, and intestinal obstruction. Dr. Michael Davis tells you when to call your doctor.

My kids always complain about stomach ache, it seems mostly when they want to get out of doing something. How should I know when the pain is more significant? It sounds like there can be so many problems in the abdomen area.
