It is often hard to understand the source of pain in babies and children, and if they experience it often or for a long time, it can do severe damage.
Go ahead. Try asking a crying child or baby what's wrong, and you most likely will come away as baffled as you were at first wail. This becomes a particular problem in hospitals where assessing pediatric pain and treating it correctly can be critical. The fact is pain can be downright harmful to little ones. If they experience it often or for a long time, it can make them more sensitive to pain, change their brain structure and cause emotional, behavioral and learning problems.
Plus, adds Kleinhans, understanding how to properly assess pain and apply current research findings in pediatric pain management can help decrease opioid usage. Opioids bring not only a myriad of adverse effects, but prescribing opioids contributes to the opioid epidemic.
