I got a 9 year-old son. He complains that he has abdominal soreness. I don’t to what can be cause of that. Every day after school he is playing football with other kids from neighborhood. I don’t know if he hurts him self or is just exhausted. Do you have an answer for a worried mother?
Well if he plays football everyday as you say, active use of his abdominal muscles can create extreme soreness of these muscles. The pain can get worse if he pushes on the belly or when he uses the muscles such as in sitting up. Other reason for abdominal soreness is prolonged vomiting. You should ask him about that.
