Abdominal Pain in Children

Based on your answers, it's unlikely that your child's pain is caused by acid reflux, strep throat, cold or flu, or food allergy.

Think about the amount of stress in your child's home and school life.

Could his abdominal pain be caused by anxiety?

Yes, my child may be reacting to stressful events in his life.

No, I don't think that my child is suffering from stress or anxiety.
