Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I would have appreciated if you could have mentioned:
1. Where is the "blockage"?
2. What syrup and antibiotic is being prescribed?
By your description I presume she has a nasal blockage for which routine medicines including antibiotic are being given but nothing for her stomach ache.

I suggest that you get the following investigations done:
1. Stool routine examination.
2. Urine routine examination.
3. Ultrasound of the whole abdomen.
These would help us in excluding a physical cause of the stomach ache or some psychological problems in the school.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,

RKK
