What causes prolonged stomach pain in a toddler?
Patient: I have a 4 year old who is crying of stomach pain. I took her to ER yesterday because she was in pain and it doesnt seem to be getting any better. They dis xrays of her stomach and determined there is no problem with her intestines, however they made no suggestion as to what to do for her stomach pain.., Doctor: Hi... I feel that when there is such an intense pain as is making a toddler to crying continuously, I feel that she should be evaluated for - 1. renal colic or stones in the renal system2. second possibility is mesenteric adenitis which is also quite common but harmless condition3. third possibility is that it could be a worm infestation.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
