While not all abdominal pain can be prevented, some measures can reduce the risk. Encouraging a balanced diet rich in fiber, adequate hydration, and regular physical activity can help prevent constipation. Teaching children about proper hand hygiene can reduce the risk of infections like gastroenteritis. For children with known food allergies, avoiding trigger foods is crucial. Managing stress and anxiety through healthy coping mechanisms can also help reduce the incidence of stress-related abdominal pain.
