The child’s belly button pain may be caused by ascariasis, umbilical cord infection, mesenteric lymphadenitis and other causes.

2. Umbilicitis: if the child likes to pick the navel with his hands, it will be easy to bring the bacteria from the hands to the navel, which will cause inflammation in the navel area and lead to umbilicitis, and the symptoms of navel pain will appear under the stimulation of inflammatory factors.
3. Mesenteric lymphadenitis: when the child is infected with bacteria and viruses, these pathogens will enter the child’s intestinal tract and invade the lymph nodes in the ileocecal part, thus causing inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes, leading to the child’s belly button pain.
