My 9 year old daughter had her tonsills out last fall due to all of her strep infections. Less than a month after the surgery she was diagnosed with strep again. She complains almost all the time that her stomach, throat and head hurt, same symptoms as when she had strep. We have been to the doctor and they have said it s allergies. We have not had any luck with any allergy medicines. What is causing her stomach, throat and head to hurt?
Hello dear. The symptoms you have described are all due to infection. Sorethroat or strep pharyngitis is associates with fever that causes headache and also is associated with abdominal pain. But the cause of repeated strep. Infections could be variable. As your doctor said it can be allergy or your children weak immune system.I would recommend to use anti-histamines like cetirizine spy. 1 tablespoon full at night for about a month and montelukast tablet 5\u00a0mg at night for about 2 months. Give plenty of fluids (Luke warm, not cold) when in active state of infection along with home remedies like 1 teaspoon of honey in Luke warm water, gargles with warm water having a pinch of salt in the morning and evening. Avoid cold Chat Doctor. I hope it will help
