What causes stomach pain?
Patient: my 7 yr old daughter has had a stomach ache for 4 days. Thurs night she couldn't sleep at all, and last night was also a night of no sleep. Now she says it feels like she has a heart beat in her stomach, she i take her to the Dr.  Toady i did give her a laxitive thinking she was constipated. DeAnna Doctor: was she constipated first of all before you administer laxative to her? stomach ache is a common symptoms for kids and does she eat? does she vomit? does she poop? how severe is the pain? if you say yes to all, then do not wait and visit the doctor.
