<![CDATA[Recurrent abdominal pain is the most common symptom experienced by children around the world and causes high rates of children absent from school. Gastroduodenitis is a disease with abdominal pain symptoms. The initial clinical symptom was dyspepsia. In most pediatric cases the etiology is unknown (idiopathic). This study presented a case of gastroduodenitis in a 10-year-old boy hospitalized with the chief complaints of heartburn, accompanied by vomiting. The patient has a history of the same complaint in the last 3 months ago, causing the patient to be admitted to the hospital repeatedly. Pain is not relieved by defecation or flatus. On physical examination, tenderness was found in the epigastric and umbilical regions. Chronic gastroduodenitis was confirmed after endoscopic examination and tissue biopsy. Therapy including proton pump inhibitors and lifestyle modifications can improve the child's condition. In the case of gastroduodenitis, it is important to prevent complications, so proper examination and prompt treatment are needed for the sufferer.]]>
