Children suffer from stomach aches very frequently. Sometimes you will notice that if your kids are stressed out about an event at school or at home they are most likely to complain about a stomach ache. Most parents brush it off as if the child were pretending; however you must avoid doing so as the pain is real and it is the only way that your child can channel the stress that he is going through. If your child complains of stomach ache then he is most likely to also complain of fever, loss of appetite, gas, nausea and headaches. You need not rush the child to the emergency room; simply try a few home remedies and ensure that the child gets ample of rest.

The first thing that you must do is place a hot water bottle on the child’s abdomen. It will ease the pain and will facilitate the elimination process in case the child is suffering from constipation. If you are dealing with an infant then the pain could be a result of colic and you need to pacify the child. You must offer the child water as the crying session can leave him dehydrated and with little to no energy.

An infusion of several herbs will also help to pacify the child. Boil water with a spoonful of Cumin seeds. Let the seeds blend with the water for a few minutes and then add a spoon of honey to the mixture and drink it as if it were a tea. The warm water of the blend added to the aroma cumin seeds will help the child to relax.

Offer the child yogurt. The cooling dessert will help to settle the stomach and ease the pain. Blend it with a few fruits for best results. Yogurt will act as a natural laxative. If the child is constipated then ensure that the child eats plenty of bananas. This helps to ease the elimination process and puts the child at ease. Let the child rest and refrain too much activity. It is best to have the child sleep on the back rather than lay on the side or stomach.

If you notice that there is absolutely no improvement in the child within a few hours then you must rush to the emergency room as the pain may be due to an enlarged appendix or even colitis.
