When there is burning or pain in the upper abdomen that does not ease, it may be duodenitis, inflammation of the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine just after the stomach. It is one of the disorders of the upper digestive tract.
Common symptoms: discomfort or burning in the pit of the stomach, a feeling of fullness, nausea, and, at times, loss of appetite.

Which specialist treats it? Its workup falls to the gastroenterologist, with support from the general practitioner; in childhood, the pediatric gastroenterologist or the pediatrician is involved. If digestive discomfort is persistent, the advisable thing is to have it evaluated by a professional.
