[quote=Anonymous]Show your child that you take it seriously. Book a doctor’s appointment, as these things are hard to diagnose. Start journaling the pain too — severity on a scale of 0 to 10, time of day, possible triggers. With all the attention being paid, if this is an avoidance behavior, it should stop right away. If it is a medical condition, you’ll be gathering the info. you need to help the doctor to make a diagnosis. It’s also relatively harmless to give Tums. They’re just chalk, and they help to supplement calcium. If they reduce pain, that’s good data to have. Since the pain has been clearing up, I wouldn’t give your child a pass from normal activity. Send him or her to school and extracurriculars unless there’s vomiting or diarrhea involved. Let your child know that s/he can take it easy if necessary and call you if things get worse. Chances are that you won’t get a phone call.[/quote]
