Can Buscopan Aggravate Abdominal Cramps And Vomiting?

My daughter of 6 years, very healthy, has been having stomach cramps and throwing up since Thursday. We have been to the hospital twice and been following the prescribed medication. She is currently taking antibiotics. I noticed the cramps get worse when I give her buscopan and she eventually ends up throwing up. Two questions, can she be reacting to the buscopan? I have heard palm oil can help when having stomach cramps. Is this true as I am considering giving her some

Hello!
I have been through your question.
Related your concern you should know that buscopan is used to relieve (muscle spasms) cramps in the stomach and intestines and has no data to cause cramps even as side effects. Maybe increasing cramps is related to the situation that your daughter have and has no relation with taking buscopan. I haven't hear and read that palm oil could recommend for cramps. What I suggest for the moment for your daughter, except the antibiotic ( that she has started) is that should drink a lot of water and tea, take tresol and probiotics. Furthermore, you can stop giving your daughter buscopan and can use an other antispasmodic dicycloverini or peppermint oil for cramps.
I hope my answer help you.
I wish your daughter a quick recovery.
