What Causes Intermittent Stomach Pain And Mild Fever In A Child?

My 7 year old daughter has been complaining of stomach "hurting" on and off for about 3 months. She sometimes spikes a low-grade fever along with these complaints. I brought her to the Dr a few weeks ago and she said she seemed ok. But with these episodes she won't eat much and is cranky (not herself). Ideas?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of intermittent stomach pain and mild fever which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis. It seems to be due to electrolyte imbalance of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain hydration of child well. Give curd in diet.

- Start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration.

- Take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole and probiotic.You should take Probiotics such as lactobacillus as well.

- Give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well.

Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
