Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of headache and stomach ache which seems to be due to food poisoning/ acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should take plenty of fluids. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. Give your child banana on daily basis and light food. I would suggest you not to panic at all. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
