What Cause Appetite Loss And Stomach Ache In A Child?

Hi, My daughter is 5 years old. She is not showing appetite for the past 3-4 days, and she is telling that her stomach is paining at least once a day. 10 days back, she was having stomach pain and fever and doctor prescribed Cyclopam Suspension for 2 days (5ml each two times a day) along with Paracetamol syrup. She was recovered in 2 days. Is Cyclopam suspension a good medicine for her to be given now, without consulting doctor again? Is Cyclopam an antibiotic? Regards, Raghi

Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Cyclomine is not an antibiotic. Its is a pain killer.It works by relaxing the muscles in stomach. It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms). Hence it helps in relieving cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort.

I think she due to medicines her stomach has become bit acidic which is the point of concern. The pain she is experiencing is de to acidity.

I would suggest you to give her Lanzoprazole junior Empty stomach. It is a chewable medicine. You can give her for 4-5 days.
However also check with her pediatrician.

Thanks
