Pain might be due to procedures or treatments, or from their illness or injury. How children cope with pain is different for each of them. Some kids will not talk about their pain, while others will cry and yell. This page describes ways parents can help their child reduce pain using play and imagination. These methods will work in the hospital or at home. These strategies for easing pain work well with pain medication your child may need.
