Children can face an array of digestive issues throughout their growth, some are temporary, while some may remain permanent, if not treated well. Here are a few very common issues, that are probably the initial phase, which if treated on time, will not lead to any digestive problem in them.
1. Abdominal Ache
Pain in the stomach if it occurs frequently is a warning sign. This might range from constipation to stomach discomfort to headaches, and so on. Constipation affects over half of all patients who attend the Pediatric gastrointestinal treatment center.
2. Toddler Diarrhea
Young toddlers are eager to sample new foods and drinks, and the combination might result in major health problems. Diarrhea is caused by an increase in sugar intake in their bodies as a result of various juice drinking. Toddlers who have diarrhea are likely to have gastrointestinal pain, discomfort, and constipation.
3. Reflux
In newborns and infants, spitting and salivating appear to be fairly prevalent. Many babies do it regularly, which might be a problem. It will result in newborns not gaining weight and nutrients not reaching their digestive systems. If not treated properly, the infant's reflux problem might progress to dangerous complications by 4 months. It can be improved with effective therapy and management of the habit.
