I have a 16 month old baby. For the last 4 days, he seems to have stomach aches/pains. A few times an hour, he will suddenly start crying, stamp his feet very hard and hold on to me very tight (that it actually hurts me). It is not a tantrum. And after a few minutes, he stops as if it didn t happen. Is this stomach pain, teething or something else?? His back teeth are coming through.
Hello, I can understand your concern. During teething, the gums become sore and itchy and the child constantly wants to bite or scratch on something with the teeth. This makes child Chat Doctor.  This habit sometimes cause stomach infection and food poisoning. In addition, because the child himself is annoyed with the teething process, he screams and acts irritated and annoyed. Holding on to you very tight is a symptom not associated with the teething process. You can discuss this issue with the pediatrician. If he develops food poisoning, pediatrician should be consulted for the antibiotic course. For the sore gums, you can apply Travel on the gums of the child to make teething little easier for him. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,
