My child often complains of a stomach ache, and I suspect they are faking it.

It may not be just 'faking it.' Most cases of childhood abdominal pain are either 'psychogenic (stress-related)' or due to 'cold intestines.' Abdominal pain experienced before school or when a child is scolded is because of the connection between the brain and the gut (the Brain-Gut Axis).

아이가 아프다는데 꾀병이라고 무시하면 상처받습니다.

  • 배꼽 주변: 아이들은 아픈 부위를 정확히 모릅니다. 대부분 배꼽 주위를 가리킵니다.
  • 치료: 소건중탕 등은 긴장된 복부 근육을 풀어주고 비위를 따뜻하게 하여 복통을 없앱니다.
  • 체크: 배를 만졌을 때 딱딱하거나 차갑다면 치료가 필요한 상태입니다.
💡 찜질

따뜻한 손(엄마 손은 약손)이나 핫팩으로 배를 덮어주면 금방 편안해합니다.
