Handling When Your Baby Has Abdominal Pain

A baby with colic is thought to be very normal, but sometimes, if the disease is not detected and diagnosed early, the baby's life can be at risk.
Symptoms of colic in babies
Acute abdominal pain: babies often writhing, crying, pale face, sweating. Therefore, the family members need to calm down to listen to the doctor and see if the baby can conveniently visit the doctor.
Appendicitis: One of the most common acute abdominal pain is appendicitis. Appendicitis in children over 2 years of age has the same symptoms as adults

.
For example: pain in the right iliac fossa (initially painful, then painful), constant pain, accompanied by pain often with nausea, vomiting, and low fever (about 37-38ºC).
During the examination, the baby complains of pain and wipes the doctor from touching the right pelvic area or the abdomen. Especially the appendix is very sore (Mac Burney's point)
For children younger than 2 years of age, diagnosis of appendicitis is often more difficult to detect, so it will be slower (because of atypical symptoms such as older children or adults); Therefore, it is easy to cause complications such as appendicitis perforation, peritonitis (inflammation of peritoneum) leaving very serious consequences.




The common symptoms in children under 2 years old with appendicitis are: a mild fever, vomiting, reflux or fuss, a sluggish, pale face.
Flatulence, bloating, when touching the abdomen, crying baby is in danger of rupture of the appendix causing peritonitis. One thing that the surgeon also reminded is that colic due to appendicitis in the baby may at first be pain in the epigastric, around the navel, then localized in the right iliac fossa.
The reason why the baby has abdominal pain
Intussusception: is an acute disease that is common in plump, boys more than girls, from 3 months to 2 years old, especially children from 6–9 months. The main symptoms of intussusception are: abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody diarrhea. Examination can see intussusception, rectal examination can see blood sticking to the gloves. Abdominal pain in babies is also common in the case of bile duct worms (GCOM) in babies with worms in the gastrointestinal tract, especially after deworming (especially in case of deworming with insufficient dosages) The pain caused him to roll over, cry, sweat and butt.



GCOM can cause liver abscess, biliary tract stones, obstruction of the biliary tract.
Obstructive hernia: Abdominal pain in your baby in the emergency form can also be due to a blocked hernia. In this case, if not detected in time, it is very likely that the intestinal segment is necrotic. A blocked hernia in addition to abdominal pain may also include vomiting, squash and defecation.
Bowel obstruction: Abdominal pain in babies can also be caused by intestinal obstruction for various reasons. Symptoms are: vomiting food, green bile, yellow bile, abdominal distention. If the intestinal obstruction is low, the abdominal distention will be more.
Food poisoning: is an emergency disease.



Food poisoning can be caused by microorganisms or chemicals. Bacterial food poisoning often has fever, abdominal cramps, frequent bowel movements with bloody stool or thanks to blood like fish (food poisoning caused by shigella bacteria).
Nematode colic in babies: also a common type. Worms' colic often recurs many times, abdominal pain around the belly button, especially in the stool test for worm eggs. In some cases of multiple roundworms, ultrasound can detect images of roundworm. Your baby may also have a urinary tract stone causing abdominal pain: sometimes very intense, however, the rate of urinary tract stones is not much.
In addition to urolithiasis, babies can also have abdominal pain due to urinary tract infections, girls have more urinary tract infections than boys, causing lower abdominal pain.
