What causes stomach ache in a child?
Patient: my child is complaining of a tummy ache. he just went poop, and it looked normal, not hard. he does not have a fever. any ideas of what i can look for? When i ask him to pinpoint where it hurts, he does focus around the tummy area, not the abdomen. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
