Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Nausea In A Child

Hi, I have a 14 year old son, who has had the same illness three times since March last year. It starts with nausea for three or four days with stomach pains and no appetite - then he begins to be sick a little, mainly bile. The hole epsiode last for almost a week. Each time we don t know of any other sickness bugs around and neither my husband, my younger son or I have been sick either. I am a little concerned that it may not be a bug. I have also noticed that the whites of his eyes are more yellow than ours. I have visited my local GP who felt my sons tummy - but he did not want me to speak to him (as he felt my 14 year old son was old enough to talk for himself) so I don t feel he got the whole picture. My son is eating ok and seems well in himself again. But his eyes are still more yellow. kind regards Mrs kempton

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi.... I understand your concern. By what you say I feel that your son should be evaluated for viral hepatitis, which goes on like a chronic active hepatitis I suggest you consult your son's pediatrician or a paediatric gastroenterologist regarding this.

He needs to be worked up for hepato tropic viral diseases and also autoimmune hepatitis keeping his age in mind.

I suggest you also not to neglect this as you are saying that the white portion of his eye balls are yellower than normal.
