Dr. Sears content always seems to address subjects with practicality and logic, and this article is no exception. No parent wants to freak out, frightening their child who is experiencing abdominal pain. At the same time, we don't want to ignore potentially dangerous symptoms either. This article provides good advice on how to calmly assess the situation in order to determine when it is necessary to see the doctor and when you can safely take a "wait and see" attitude. The article is filled with odd question marks, probably formatting errors, that distract from the quality of the information.
