Suggest Medication For Lower Abdominal Pain In Children
My 9 year old daughter has had diarrhea off and on for the past 4 days. Thursday evening she was vomiting too but hasn t thrown up since and has otherwise been eating and drinking normally. She does complain of intermittent pain in her lower abdomen and gas. No one else in the household is ill.

It could be due to some infection from food eaten at school or outside the household which others did not consume. You have not mentioned whether these symptoms were accompanied by fever and other systemic symptoms. Also important is the color and consistency of the vomit and stool.
Please keep her well hydrated, ensure that she passes urine as per her normal frequency and consult your nearest pediatrician who might prescribe a stool test and a couple of blood tests to check her electrolytes, etc. Following this a medication may be prescribed which could be an anti-diarrheal, anti-helminthic, etc based on the diagnosis.
