Forecast
Depending on the cause behind the abdominal pain, a baby also has different prognoses. In general, however, the prognosis for a baby is good, as most abdominal pain at this age is harmless. In emergencies, however, you must still act quickly and should consult a doctor, especially if you have a bad feeling yourself.
Prophylaxis
Once you know the cause of a baby’s abdominal pain, you can then try to avoid it in order to take prophylactic measures. An example would be a food intolerance or the consumption of flatulent foods, which one would then rather avoid. Otherwise, it is recommended to have the children vaccinated according to current vaccination recommendations, as this can prevent some of the unnecessary gastrointestinal infections, such as those caused by the rotavirus.
