Suggest Treatment For Recurring Stomach Pain, Diarrhea And Constipation In Child
My daughter is 2 and she suffers from constipation. Sometimes she has white hard lumps that look like chalk in her stools. I m very concerned! She s been unwell on and off for the past 3 months with stomach pains, diarahh, constipation sickness and was thinking maybe she has an allergy to gluten or dairy. I just need some advice! We r waiting for an appointment with the pediatrician and it can t come quick enough

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having symptoms of recurring stomach pain, diarrhea and constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning , irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance , giardiasis or intestinal Ileus. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history . Doctor may prescribe laxatives. Doctor may prescribe Ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. Drink plenty of fluids and take diet rich in fibres. For now eat light and non spicy , avoid food like nuts and keep her head elevated while lying down .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
