Abdominal pain can be due to allergy to certain food constituents, e.g. lactose in milk. Certain food preservatives (like colour) used in cold drinks or pickles can be a cause of stomachache in children.

Drugs

Epileptic or antimalarial drugs and some antibiotics may cause abdominal pain in children.

Chronic recurrent abdominal pain

This type of pain is seen in late childhood (8-15 years). A physical cause should be excluded after thorough examination and investigations. If abdominal pain persists, and there is a history of three or more episodes of severe abdominal pain over a period of 3-4 months, the pain may be psychological in origin, caused by worry or anxiety.
