What is the cause of the pain around the belly button in children?

Pain around the belly button in children is mainly due to paroxysmal intestinal spasms. Because the intestinal tract of children is longer than that of adults, and because the intestinal peristalsis is faster than that of adults, the above characteristics determine that children’s intestines are prone to spasms. In addition, children’s spleen and stomach functions are relatively weak, which makes the intestinal function very easy to be disturbed. Especially after a cold in the abdomen or eating too much or eating too cold, etc., can cause paroxysmal intestinal spasms, causing a burst of pain around the navel of the child. The pain is not particularly intense at this time, and lasts for about 3-5 minutes and will relieve itself. At this time, children can be given treatment to regulate the spleen and stomach.
