Chronic Stomach Aches, Constipated, Occasional Vomiting. Taking Miralax. Headaches, Bloody Nose. Cause For Above Symptoms?
I have a 9 year old. She has been complaining of chronic stomach aches for 2 years now. X-rays show she s constipated. She vomits during the night occasionally. We take Miralax for it but the stomach aches persist. Now she s been complaint of a headache and dizziness . I don t think she has Ever mentioned these concerns before. She also has been getting 4-5 bloody noses a week for about three weeks now. It is winter and dry so I don t know. My alarm bells are starting to go off that maybe it s something more. She cries frequently about not feeling well. I just don t know because its a lot of vague symptoms.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic .
your daughter should be evaluated properly for constipation .Constipation at this age group commonly due to lack of balanced diet and not taking adequate amount of water /fluid that is required for good health.
Cause of constipation should be found out and treated accordingly.
As the kid having headache,dizziness,bloody noses ,she should immediately be checked up by e n t surgeon /paeditrician to have a proper diagnosis and treatment.
hope your daughter gets well soon .
