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.
Hi there,
Abdominal soreness can be really caused by many things and especially in the young children which are more prone to viruses than the adults are. I am not sure here but my opinion is that your son might have some sort of stomach virus that is causing all the soreness in his stomach. Have you noticed if he has some problems with his bowel movements? Also there is a chance that he might have stomach worms which are really annoying when it comes to stomach pain. The best thing would be to take him to the hospital to do some test and see what they can find. I hope that you find some of this helpful.
Best wishes,
Marco
