A member asked:

5 year old girl complains of a stomach ache. nothing else seems to be wrong, poo is fine. not sure if it's a genuine complaint or thinks she has an ache. how can a gp tell if it's real? been happening for over a year, maybe every other week?

Chronic abdominal pain has multiple possible causes. Watch for signs of increasing or focal pain. A GI consult may be helpful. Discuss possible causes of stress and relation to meals. GERD should be considered.
