Abdominal pain, also called „stomach ache“ or „tummy ache“ is characterized as pain in the area between the chest and pelvis. It can vary in symptoms, duration, and intensity.
Causes
To determine the cause it is important to know the location and type of the pain. Pain can be described as sharp or stabbing, dull, cramp-like, or colicky.
Treatment
As abdominal pain is a very general term, it is not possible to give a precise diagnosis or treatment. It is therefore important to first establish the diagnosis. This can range from „minor issues“ such as lactose intolerance or allergy to serious illnesses. It is important to discuss the problem with your doctor.
