I try to rubb he tummy and give he pain reliever! I have taken her to her doctor and she didn t seem to concerned? But why does she still get these pains? Could it be anxiety??
Dear Parent, Functional abdomen pain that is pain in abdomen without any medical explanation can occur in child Chat Doctor.  I suggest that you maintain a diary as to when the pain occurs. I am glad that you have taken your child to pediatrician to evaluate her abdomen pain. If you are not satisfied with your pediatricians' assurance, I would suggest that you take a second opinion to confirm that nothing is wrong with your child before giving her pain relievers.
