It may get highly unbearable sometimes to work and do our chores with a tummy ache. When the area in and around our abdomen is affected by pain, it can sometimes render us helpless and we may not be able to perform well. This is a very common condition in children.

The cause of the tummy ache is usually minor and goes undiagnosed when the pain subsides even if the patient is taken to a doctor. There may be reasons like constipation, stress, minor viral infection called mesenteric adenitis. Some serious problem may too be there but they are rare like gastroenteritis, appendicitis and urinary tract infections.

For the pain caused due to minor reasons, the patient or child may be given a simple painkiller which is suitable for his age. Children sometimes forget bowel movement when engrossed in play which may cause tummy ache. They can be reminded and this will help in relieving the pain. There are some pointers to relieve tummy ache like:
• Any greasy foods like coffee, whiskey, beer etc which can upset stomach should be avoided
• Liquid antacids can help if pain is in the upper part of stomach
• Avoid heavy and dairy foods if you have flu or cold with a stomach pain.

If the pain lasts for more than six hours or is changing its place, the patient should then be rushed to the doctor for a diagnosis. Timely help in tummy ache can help avoid grave situations.
