As always, the syllabus is fairly vague. There are three groups of causes of abdominal pain in children (as I see it). 1. More likely in children, 2. more likely in adults but could happen in children, 3. referred or non- abdominal.
Testicular Torsion
Referred Scrotal Pain
Foreign body ingestion
Hernias
More Likely in Adults
Gall stones
Porphyria
Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohns) with or without toxic megacolon
Non abdominal
Abdominal migraine
Pneumonia pain
DKA pain
HSP pain
Sickle cell pain
There are many resources on assessing and managing abdominal pain. Take a good history, examine carefully, interpret observation trends, ensure early analgesia - and if in doubt...refer.
I am very much pleased with the contents you have mentioned.if you want more information something like visit jacksonville pain clinic get more details.
