Suggest Remedies For Left-sided Abdominal And Groin Pain In Children

I have a 5 year old son who is having pain in his lower abdomon/groin left side. He says it hurts to poop, no problem when he pees, the pain is constant in only the one area. It increases when he gets off his chair, increases with food or water intake.

Hi.

It could be that he isnt getting enough fiber, could be related to hemorrhoids which can be external or internal, could be a parasite infection, and so on. So a diagnosis is difficult to estabkish through an online consultation and so I would recommend you take him to his pediatrician. But keep him on a high fluid and fiber diet.

Best wishes.
