Why do babies’ tummies hurt?
Why do babies have tummy ache?
With such a childish but not at all simple question, we turned to NATALYA VASILYEVNA AVDEEVAYA, Candidate of Medical Sciences, member of the Russian Gastroenterological Association, gastroenterologist at the multidisciplinary medical center “Alexandria”.
– Natalya Vasilievna, hello. Tell us about abdominal pain that occurs in babies? For example, colic – what is their cause and what should parents do?
– There are really many reasons why a child may have a stomach ache. In infants, the cause may be the so-called “colic”, both physiological and caused, for example, by food allergies. Prevention of food allergies, if breastfeeding is not possible for any reason, is the use of therapeutic mixtures that contain split cow’s milk protein and a reduced amount of lactose. This reduces the load on the child’s digestive tract, allows him to maintain normal digestion, reduces the risk of gas formation and other manifestations.
Another common cause of abdominal pain in a baby is cholestatic disorders (bile retention). This problem can occur against the background of teething, disruption of the schedule for the introduction of complementary foods (early introduction, products not recommended for age). This is determined by ultrasound of the abdominal cavity. To correct these disorders, choleretic drugs are used. Stool disorders (diarrhea, constipation), as a rule, have something in common with the above reasons. Another manifestation of food allergies is skin rashes. Of course, there are a number of diseases that give similar symptoms, but most often mothers of young children face precisely these problems.
– Now tell us about children of preschool and school age. Are there any diseases that give pain in the abdomen, not related to the gastrointestinal tract?
– Various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can also cause pain in the abdomen. Gastritis, duodenitis, cholecystitis, colitis, etc.
But even, for example, with pneumonia, there may be pain in the abdomen. Of course, it has its own symptoms – fever, intoxication, respiratory disorders, but abdominal pain, as a non-specific symptom, can accompany pneumonia. With kidney disease – pyelonephritis, not only the lower back, but also the stomach can hurt. With neurological diseases against the background of increased regular psycho-emotional stress, autonomic disorders of the nervous system, children may complain of nausea, abdominal pain, and motion sickness in transport. The causes of abdominal pain can be various infections, both parasitic and intestinal. In preschool children – helminth infections, giardiasis, enterovirus and rotavirus infections. In schoolchildren, one of the causes of abdominal pain may be injuries resulting from falls, bruises, etc.
– Schoolchildren often suffer from gastroduodenitis. Why do they appear?
– Gastroduodenitis is considered a chronic pathology, but it can occur without exacerbations for several years.
Heredity plays a huge role in the occurrence of the disease. If the next of kin have diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and / or duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux, then in children the risk of gastroduodenitis is much higher. If, for example, increased acidity occurs, there is a risk of these diseases. May increase the risk of inflammatory changes and certain medications, food allergies, infections, upper gastrointestinal motor disorders.
– How can children with gastritis be observed?
– These children need dynamic supervision. As you know, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract worsen in spring and autumn, therefore it is during these periods that control visits to a gastroenterologist, instrumental and laboratory examinations are recommended. It is known that the immune system of both general and local immunity of the mucous membranes of the digestive tract in spring and autumn has a predisposition to the development of inflammation, which leads to the appearance of a disease or exacerbation of an existing one.
Therefore, during these periods, treatment is indicated: choleretic therapy, enzyme preparations, cytoprotectors – antacids, vitamins, including the use of physiotherapy, which reduces the drug load on the body and lengthens remission periods.
– Parents often hear from doctors about the bending of the gallbladder in a child. What is it and what is the threat? What advice can you give to parents?
– The kinks of the gallbladder can be fixed or labile. Sometimes, bringing the child to the next ultrasound, the mother says: “How is it? Last time there was an inflection, but now it is not found. Where did he go?” This is quite possible – this is a labile inflection of the gallbladder. As soon as the condition improves, the underlying disease is compensated, this inflection may disappear. In itself, the bend is not terrible, if there are no other reasons that cause stagnation of bile. Now, if there is an inflection, and even, for example, the presence of duodenitis or gastroduodenitis, motor disorders of the upper digestive tract, giardiasis, or a systematic violation of the diet and diet, then the inflection can be one of the factors that systematically delay bile and contribute to the development of cholecystitis in the future, cholelithiasis.
If a child has an inflection of the gallbladder, it is recommended to monitor his diet, diet, and drink choleretic drugs or herbs prophylactically in spring and autumn (if there is no allergy). Chamomile is preferable, rose hips have a higher risk of allergic reactions. The usual prophylactic course consists of two months in the following mode: courses of two weeks for two months in a row (two weeks of admission, two weeks off, two weeks of admission).
– They say that the diagnosis of “dysbacteriosis” as such does not exist. What should I do if my child has been diagnosed with this?
– There really is no such diagnosis in the international classification of diseases. This condition can become a risk for the development or progression of the course of any pathology. The intestinal mucosa normally has a mucoid gland secretion system and parietal microflora. And if this complex is not violated, then the body’s defenses are working at full strength, which is of great importance for health.
Firstly, the risk of allergies is low, and secondly, the presence of dysbiotic disorders can have a very bad effect on the course of a variety of diseases due to an increased load on organs with toxins.
There are no tests that would be available in practical healthcare and at the same time be the “gold standard” for diagnosing dysbacteriosis. As shown by many studies, sowing feces for dysbacteriosis is far from ideal. However, we still use it in practice in children of the first year of life. There is also an indirect analysis that does not show the presence of microbes, but indicates a change in the biochemical composition of the microflora – a biochemical analysis of feces for short-chain fatty acids. A decrease or increase in the level of these acids will indicate a violation of the protective function of the intestine. There is also a stool analysis for carbohydrates, with which we can determine the presence of lactase deficiency. These studies can be useful to us in the diagnosis of intestinal disorders in children.
In addition, additional tests are needed to establish the correct diagnosis:
- Ultrasound of the abdominal organs .
- In addition, children of early, preschool age and primary school age – ultrasound of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, which allows to detect pathology at an early stage, without resorting to invasive studies (for example, fibrogastroduodenoscopy)
- Laboratory tests:
– general clinical: complete blood count, general urinalysis, coprology
– biochemical blood test – Asat, Alat, bilirubin, amylase, etc. parasites, Helicobacter pylori and other infections that can cause abdominal pain
– PCR-test of blood and feces to determine the DNA of the pathogen
– bacteriological analysis of feces for dysbacteriosis
4) specialist consultations – gastroenterologist, allergist-immunologist, infectious disease specialist, pediatrician, neurologist, pediatric surgeon, physiotherapist
