Child With Pain In The Stomach. Had A Fall. Muscle Strain Or Internal Bruise?

My 6yr old son fell off his swing last week onto his front & said he bumped his tummy on the grass - he didn't land on anything - just flat on the ground. He seemed fine & recovered quickly & has been eating, drinking, urinating & defacating normally since. Over the weekend, he played on his new trampoline a lot. Then, a couple of days ago, he went to bounce on his trampoline & said his tummy really hurt when he tried to jump. This has happened several times since & he now says his tummy hurts when he presses it. However, he's continued to be well in himself & hasn't had any issues with eating, drinking, urinating, defacating, etc & his tummy doesn't hurt all the time - just when he exerts himself & presses on it. Could it be a muscle strain or an internal bruise? Should we be worried? Should we take him to the hospital? Any advice this evening would be very welcome. Thank you. Mrs Kathryn Green.

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be due to muscle strain. I advice him to take rest. Avoid activities that involves painful muscle. Doing hot fomatation will be helpful. If the pain is persists even after this I suggest to get it evaluated by a doctor.
Hope this will helps you.
