Abdominal pain can be caused by many things. The causes may also change as your child gets older. Usually, abdominal pain is not serious and gets better with no treatment or by being treated at home. However, sometimes abdominal pain is serious. Your child’s health care provider will do a medical history and a physical exam to try to determine the cause of your child’s abdominal pain.
