Suffering from aches and pains is part of life, but pain left untreated may cause fear, anxiety, and other symptoms. It is important to recognize and manage your child's pain because it will make him feel better and recover more quickly from an illness.

Children often complain of a “tummy ache.” This is pain in the stomach or intestinal area, also called the abdomen.

But stomach pain can sometimes point to a serious problem, such as appendicitis, so it is important to know when to seek help.
