Abdominal pain website meine-bauchstelle.de
One of the most common issues in paediatric practices is abdominal pain. Many children are repeatedly affected by this - without there being a real cause for the pain. There is a world-class website for affected families: www.meine-bauchstelle.de
One of the most frequent topics in paediatric practices is abdominal pain. There is already a "tip from the doctor" about this - which points out, among other things, that of all children and adolescents who present with abdominal pain, three quarters do not have a serious illness. It is then not possible to make a real diagnosis. In the past, the term "growing pains" was used, today it is referred to as functional abdominal pain, which in principle describes the same thing.
It is very important for parents to know that the pain is not imaginary, it is real, but there is no relevant organic cause in the body. This is often difficult for children and families to understand and endure.
And now for the actual tip: there is a world-class website on this subject called "meine Bauchstelle". The paediatric pain clinic in Datteln has created this site. This site is highly recommended to all parents and families for whom the topic of abdominal pain in children keeps popping up. The site can be a great help: www.meine-bauchstelle.de.
Further interesting tips
Shaking trauma
I would like to draw attention to an extremely important topic: #ShakeKills. That sounds a bit drastic, but I think it's absolutely justified because it's an incredibly important topic - one that can have drastic consequences. It's about shaking trauma in babies.
Health letter
A somewhat more difficult topic today - but one that we paediatricians are very concerned about. Because we are very often confronted with the fact that we are supposed to give a child a "clean bill of health". In other words, we are asked to certify schools, nurseries or childminders: This child is healthy. But we can't do that.
Joint cracking
Today a topic from the category: "Annoying, but it's not bad." And no, we're not talking about the doctor. But the cracking of joints.
