There are many causes of abdominal pain in children, ranging from medical problems to surgical disorders. Common medical problems that cause abdominal pain, such as intestinal cramps, are functional abdominal pains that are mainly caused by eating cold food or too much activity or eating too fast, which causes rapid bowel movements and abdominal distension. Vomiting and abdominal pain can also occur as a result of gastroenteritis. These causes of abdominal pain can be treated with diet and medication to relieve the onset of abdominal pain. Surgical problems, such as pancreatitis, appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, and intussusception, which is more common in infants and children, can also cause abdominal distension, which can be more severe and long-lasting, and can lead to certain complications if not diagnosed early.
