Good Morning, My Daughter Aged 5yrs Complaints Of Frequent Stomach

default
Posted on Wed, 17 Oct 2018
Question: Brief Answer:
Can give an antacid syrup for now, but should consult a paediatrician.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for the query.

The Pain abdomen in your child is likely to be due gastritis, so you can give her 5 ml of an antacid like gelusil 3 times a day.

But other causes for pain abdomen need to be ruled out without any delay, so I suggest you to kindly take her to the paediatrician and get her examined.

I hope that helps.

Best wishes.
