My four year old has not been eating much this weekend and is tired (took two naps and slept late Sat/Sun am and she never naps on the weekend) and has been saying her tummy hurts. She continues to play and run around when awake though, so not sure of my next step?
High pain abdomen and decreased appetite in a 4-year-old child could be due to stomach infection. In stomach infection there is acute gastroenteritis which occurs due to eating food from outside. There can be history of vomiting and loose motion. Child should be given soft diet food. Prebiotic like enterogermina ampule can be given once a day for 3 days to increase intestine immunity. Curd also helps in increasing intestine immunity. If pain abdomen purchased than child should be examined by a doctor so that we may not miss any important finding. I hope this will help you. Take care.
