My daughter is 7 years old.She is constantly complaining of stomach pain at times.No  vomiting,fever or lose motions.No fuss in eating as well.She feels better after giving gripe water. She has the habit of keeping things like cloth,pencil..in her mouth.Can it be due to this.Also she passes out gas quite often.Is there anything to worry? Should i get her treated? I have been to the doctor twice or thrice and every time they say its due to infection and suggest metrogyl suspension. Kindly let me know if it is common in children.
Hi. This sort of the pain in abdomen in child Chat Doctor. Does the pain increase on eating or the child wants to pass motion after 1 hour of food? A good ultrasonography can really help to diagnose tummy tonsils meaning enlarged lymph nodes, quite common in this age group. Appendicitis should always be ruled out. An understanding Pediatric Surgeon may be of help. An antibiotic cover along with metro is a must. Go for stool test at least 3 times consecutively- many times helps to get a proper diagnosis.
