Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What could cause My 11 year old to wake up during the night with upper stomach ach, she states it hurts real bad... this has been going on inconsisted for the Iast 4months tho more than once a month.. at different times I have had her to take: a warm shower, drink warm milk, and i have given her pepto bismol.. she'll have a bowl movement and or will vomit... she states it only feels comfortable for her to sit rather than to lay down. This happened again this morning at 4:15am and it did lighten tho up it lasted until 9:30am.
Hi, From history it seems that she might be having some chronic GI infection, either amebic or bacterial or mixed. There might be having possibility of having worm infestation as well. Go for stool test for type of infection and ova or cyst of worms. After report consult your doctor and he will go for treatment accordingly. Give her light food. Avoid giving junk food. Ok and take care.
