Hi, my 6 year old son has been complaining about a headache every day for over a week. He s also complained of stomach pains and last Thursday threw up once at night. He doesn t have much of an appetite at night. He s also been complaining that his feet hurt. If that s not enough he started having itching and hives about the same time all this started. He did complete an anitibiotic about a week before. He has had this anitbiotic before with no problems. Any ideas? Oh the itching and hives have ended for the most part. They ve only popped up once in the last few days.
Thank you for asking. There are many reasons of tummy ache.90% times it is non-organic (not involving any organ). Constipation can also lead to stomachache. Hives and itchiness can because of some allergic reaction not necessarily due to antibiotic. It may be due to some insect bite or some food. The same agent (histamine) which causes itching and hive in skin cause increased acid production in stomach can lead to stomach ache. So use antihistamine (sanitizing) for stomach ache it will be helpful. For Headache, I would suggest testing his vision. Also get his blood pressure checked once visual error is ruled out.
