What Causes Facial Swelling,reduced Appetite And Stomach Fullness In A Child?

Hi Doctor, my 5 year old son has reduced appetite and belching since 3-5 days. He belches around 10-15 times a day. His appetite has also gone down and complains of fullness of abdomen. My doctor prescribed syp bestozyme and econorm. Yesterday i noted some puffiness of face predominantly around the cheeks. Can any of these medicines cause allergy? His symptoms still persist. Please advise.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for the query.
Kindly check if he has passed motions. As you have not mentioned it.
Constipation may cause such symptoms.
No, these medicines are quite safe and usually have no problems associated.
Is he passing urine normally?
You noticed puffiness yesterday, does it continue today as well?
Get urine routine & microscopy to rule out related problem.
If symptoms continue check with his doctor again.
I find this answer helpful
