Symptoms of disease - abdominal pain in children

Pain in the abdomen very often occur in any age of the child. The infant up to a year pains are most often caused by colic and the accumulation of gases in the intestines. Manifest pain piercing cry, cry, anxiety, tuck legs to his stomach. The main reason is dysbacteriosis of the intestine and the imperfection of enzymatic systems. When children begin to pronounce sounds, some of the pains you may have guessed, when a child says to "his" language ("bo-bo" , etc.), that it hurt, shows on his stomach in the navel (children up to school age do not know how to localize the pain in the abdomen). One of the most frequent causes of pain in the abdomen at the preschool age - parasitic infestation and connected with it the dysfunction of the intestine. In an older child can clearly articulate where he had a stomach ache, but the causes of abdominal pain is most often chronic disorders (dyskinesia, gastroduodenitis, etc.).

Abdominal pain in children is different. The most dangerous and unpleasant conditions are combined in the concept of "acute abdomen" (acute pancreatitis, peritonitis). The child may not get out of bed because of the severe pain in the abdomen, pain most often intense, taste, sense of well-being - bad, often the temperature rises, opens a severe vomiting, abdominal wall muscles are tense. In this situation it is impossible to give any pain medication prior to the medical examination, and urgently call an ambulance and hospitalized in a surgical hospital. Appendicitis in the early stages usually is not accompanied by great pain. On the contrary, the pain is dull, but rather the constant on the right side of the abdomen (though begin may top left), usually at the same time - a small rise in temperature, can be single vomiting. State of health may deteriorate with time, and as a result there are signs of "acute abdomen". In children aged 1 - 3 years appendicitis is extremely rare.

Another type of pain - chronic pain, which periodically disappear, then reappear. Such pain is usually accompanied by any of the following conditions (chronic disease or infection of the gastrointestinal tract). If there is such a pain, you should consult your doctor and be prepared to answer these questions: whether the pain with food (i.e. they appear always to or always after a meal, or only after some certain food); how often there is pain, as far as they are strong; whether the pain with physiological functions, and the older girls with monthly; where usually hurts, is there some specific localization of the pain, the pain somewhere spread; it is desirable to describe the nature of the pain, if a child can already do this ("pull", "burns", "colette", "cut" and etc.); what types of activities are usually help with pain (drugs, enema or venting tube, massage, calm, cold, heat, etc.). Best of all, if the doctor will you come, already having on hands the results of the analysis on disbacteriosis, ULTRASOUND examination of abdominal cavity organs.

There are such a pain in the abdomen, which are not associated with diseases of the intestines and other internal organs - neurotic pain. The child may complain of pain, when he was afraid of something or does not want to or after some psycho-emotional stress, turmoil. In this case, it is not necessary that it simulates, the stomach can really hurt, sometimes even pain - very strong, like "acute abdomen". But in the survey find nothing. In this case, you need to consult a psychologist or a neurologist. You can go and to see a cardiologist, if the pain in the abdomen are part of the vegetative-vascular dystonia, when the child has, in addition to the pain in the abdomen may be sweating, fatigue, palpitations.

Which diseases there is abdominal pain in children

The main causes of abdominal pain in children:

To clarify the causes of abdominal pain in children it is important to know when it has arisen (appeared for the first time or worried about earlier), the nature of the pain (short-term, long-lasting, recurrent, sharp, dull), location (epigastric or iliac area around the navel, hypochondrium, in the lower parts of the abdomen), irradiation of pain, communication with eating, urination, time of year and day, excessive physical activity and feelings of the child. Has the value of the age of the child: so, for example, intussusception, salmonellosis and stafilococ enteritis, usually found in children up to 1 year, and acute appendicitis, incarcerated hernia, peritonitis, diverticulitis - after 2-3 years.
Children, as a rule, can not specify the exact localization of the pain and often show on the area of the navel.

The nature of the pain can describe only children of older age. The pain appears pale skin, a child cries, bending, pinching the legs, is vomiting, decreased blood pressure.

Abdominal pain in children may be the first symptom of many diseases: mumps, measles, scarlet fever, meningitis, hemorrhagic vasculitis, hodgkin's disease, acute leukemia, rheumatism, periarteritis nodosa.
I. Pain in the abdomen in diseases of the abdominal cavity in children.

The majority of children with abdominal pain sent to hospital with diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Therefore, the differential diagnosis it is expedient to do it is in this aspect.

1. Appendicitis.
Common disease of childhood, the clinical course of which more severe than in adults, and the diagnosis is much more complicated. In infants disease is rare, then the frequency of it grows and becomes the largest in the age of 9-12 years. Acute appendicitis in children is characterized by low specificity of the clinical picture, the rapid development of the destruction of wales, early onset of complications (often spilled peritonitis).

Symptoms Of. Clinical manifestations of acute appendicitis older children in contrast to patients with 3-4 years of age are similar to those for adults. In small children, appendicitis begins with a common phenomena: the children are restless, capricious, disturbed sleep. Usually the child indicates the localization of pain in the area around the navel. Soon after the occurrence of pain appear nausea, vomiting (it happens a lot of times. More than 10% of the patients indicated loose stools, sometimes with mucus. The temperature usually rises (rarely above 30 C). Symptom differences pulse rate and temperature in children is rare and, as a rule, is observed in severe septic peritonitah. A child with acute appendicitis slow-moving, often occupies a position in the bed on the right side with those given to the stomach feet. During the examination revealed typical place of maximum tenderness, passive tense the muscles of the abdomen on the right, positive symptom Schetkina-Bloomberg. In severe intoxication, particularly when gangrenous appendicitis, the tension of the muscles of the abdomen may be absent. Determination of quantity of leukocytes has the same diagnostic meaning as in adults: often it happens within 1210 /l-1510 /l. Gangrenous appendicitis may leak and with leukopenia.

2. Pneumococcal peritonitis.
Observed primarily in children of preschool age, more often in girls. There is an opinion, that the infection penetrates into the abdominal cavity of the vagina, but the boys ways of receipt of pneumococcus in the abdominal cavity are hematogenous, lymphogenous and enterogenous.

The introduction of a department of the intestine into the lumen of the other occur primarily in infants (90%) and especially in the age from 4 to 9 months. Boys fall ill in 2 times more often than girls. Children over the age of years intussusception is rarely seen. The most often arises ileocecal intussusception and much less implementation of the small intestine in a thin and thick intestine in fat.
