What Causes Abdominal Pain In A Child After An Accident?

My 5 year old daughter fell on the steps across her lower back.. She said it was very hard and she couldn't get back up until sister helped her.. She got sick right away. Figured from just eating and the hard crying.. Now she is complaining of off again on again stomach pains.. Any major concerns? She has had a cold for last few days..

Hi.
Thanks for your query about your 5 years old daughter.
Noted that she had a fall and now has pain in abdomen.
This can be a serious problem and needs MRI of the abdomen to see if there is retro-peritoneal hematoma.
If this is so, i may be treated conservatively but the child has to be admitted and kept under observation.
Do not give her anything orally.
She may also need Standing X-ray of the abdomen and ultrasonography and also the tests of the blood, urine and stool.
The treatment will depend upon the findings.
I find this answer helpful
