A member asked:

Why would a child have pain at the top of the stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually heartburn: The backwash of stomach liquids up the swallowing tube is the most common issue related to pain in this area. There are others. The process is aggravated by some foods, caffeine, acidic drinks and laying down after eating. Your pcp could conform this issue with a history & exam & look for other possibilities.
