Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Child Complaining Of Stomach Ache. Given Syrup For Blockage, Antibiotic For Bug. Cause?
my grandaughter is 9 years of and since the school entrance 7th January have been complaining a tummy ache, on and off, she was taken to the GP and he said that she has some blockage gave her some syrup and an antibiotic in case she had a bug, but she is right for a few days then again, we are not sure if it is physical or trouble with lessons etc. Please advise
I would have appreciated if you could have mentioned:
1. Where is the "blockage"?
2. What syrup and antibiotic is being prescribed?
By your description I presume she has a nasal blockage for which routine medicines including antibiotic are being given but nothing for her stomach ache.
I suggest that you get the following investigations done:
1. Stool routine examination.
2. Urine routine examination.
3. Ultrasound of the whole abdomen.
These would help us in excluding a physical cause of the stomach ache or some psychological problems in the school.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
