My 10 yr old has just come back half way through guide camp with a tummyache that has so far lasted 2 days. She has had them quite often in the past couple of years but they have normally only lasted a few hours - enough to have her crying and be sent home from school though.
It hurts her round her tummy button - too high for starting her period surely (she hasn't started yet but my mum started at 8 and I was about 10-12).
I put it down to excitement initially but now she's home she still has it - couldn't get to sleep till 11pm. She says she's not worried about anything - problems at school last year but much better this year.
I took her to the doctor once but he just gave her something for a tummy bug.
Anyone any ideas, please???
