Many children nowadays have experienced intestinal spasms, which, although not a disease, can cause great pain to them. So when children experience intestinal spasms, some measures need to be taken. Some children's intestinal spasms always occur in the morning. So, why does a child's intestinal spasm hurt early in the morning?
The occurrence of intestinal spasms in children is related to local exposure to cold, overeating, eating cold food, and excessive breastfeeding. If you often experience intestinal spasms in the morning, it is usually because your mother will breastfeed your child in the morning. If you breastfeed too much or if the milk sugar is too high, it can easily cause intestinal gas accumulation, leading to intestinal spasms.
The symptoms of intestinal spasms in infants and young children are mostly sudden attacks, and the cessation is also relatively sudden. The duration of each episode ranges from a few minutes to over ten minutes, usually not exceeding 30 minutes. If a child's intestinal spasms persist for a long time, they should be taken to the hospital.
The pain symptoms caused by intestinal spasms are manifested as paroxysmal pain, and the painful area is at the navel. Intestinal spasms can cause children to cry uncontrollably and even roll on the ground. Moreover, during the onset of intestinal spasms and abdominal pain, the child's face will turn pale, their limbs will be cold, and their expression will be unbearable. At this time, the child's hands will unconsciously cover the navel area. Parents massaging their children's abdomen can help alleviate pain.
