Causes of abdominal pain in children can range from constipation and food poisoning to UTIs and appendicitis. — Positive Parenting
Gastroinstestinal (GI) symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation and vomiting, are common reasons for parents to seek medical consultation for their children.
