When your child says their stomach hurts, it could be a minor issue like constipation or gas. However, it could also be a stomach bug — a type of illness that is never fun and comes with a host of symptoms.

Common things to watch out for include:

🤢 Nausea and vomiting
🚽 Diarrhea
💥 Stomach cramps
🚰 Trouble staying hydrated
🤕 Muscle aches or headache
🌡️ Low-grade fever

Often, stomach bugs are caused by viruses, foodborne germs or coming in close contact with someone who’s sick. Washing your hands, disinfecting hard surfaces and not sharing food and drink containers are great ways to prevent a stomach bug, but when your child is already dealing with symptoms, we’re here to help!

Let our talented team at Tanner Urgent Care for Kids help you sort out what’s going on and talk through the right treatment options. Walk in any time, or visit our website to view wait times or schedule ahead with an appointment.
