Talking Children’s Tummy Pain with Pediatric Specialist Dr. Nina Shapiro
Parents across the globe deal with many of the same problems relating to children and stomach aches. New parents are probably the most likely to want to run to the doctor or ER when their child is experiencing pain, I was one of those. Often times though, it turns out to be a fairly common issue which can be addressed without subjecting the child to the stress of an ER visit.
Dr. Nina Shapiro, Pediatric Doctor and author of Hype: A Doctor’s Guide To Medical Myths, weighs in with The Hype Magazine on a few things relating to those tummy problems!
- Signs and symptoms that may indicate pediatric constipation
- At-home treatment options specifically formulated for children
- Additional back-to-school health woes that may pop up during this time of year
According to Dr. Shapiro, nearly all children have abdominal pain at one time or another. Fortunately, most of the time the pain is not caused by a serious medical problem. The question is: what is causing your child’s tummy trouble?
Constipation often results from diet, illness or a child’s prolonged refusal to go to the bathroom, which is a common concern amongst school-age children. Pediatric constipation is an issue that both parents and children face. In fact, it’s the reason behind almost 1 out of every 20 children’s doctor visit.
