Are Frequent Stomach Aches, Bladder Infections And Headaches In A Child A Matter Of Concern?
My 6 year old daughter frequently experiences stomach aches, bladder infections, pain under her ribs on the left side and occasional headaches. She s often pale and tired, has a loss of appetite, weak and shaky in the mornings and isn t gaining weight. Her regular family doctor doesn t seem to concerned besides treating the bladder infections but I m not convinced she s ok.

Hello,
By what you say, we need to think about other possibilities like recurrent viral illness or chronic viral illness like epstein-barr virus infection.
We should also think about upper urinary tract infection like pyelonephritis which may be recurrent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
