Child Has Cold Sweats At Night, Cough, Sore Stomach. Soft Stools With Foul Smell
my 2 1/2 year old has cold sweats at night and has a really bad cough at the min, since last week he has complained of a sore tummy on and off and also when he has woken up at night and really tied he points to his bum and crys . he cant speak properly and so its hard to understand as there is nothing visually wrong to see and when i ask him if it hurts he says yes, this has happened on about 6 differant occasions over the last 5 weeks and as he has older step brothers i wormed him as precaution some weeks ago, he is not constipated quite the opposite he always has a softer stool that smells bad this has been for a long time although it was a bit worse last week when his stomach was bad, Apart from this he is a very clever boy and very lively and jumps and plays around every day thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Kindly correct me if I have not understood the problems. They are:
1. Bad cough
2. Loose motions occasionally
3. Pointing to his buttocks that it hurts
I would suggest the following:
1. Give him some decongestant/cough syrup for his bad cough.
2. Get a stool routine examination for his loose motions.
3. Get his anal canal examined by a doctor for any evidence of injury.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Regards,
RKK

Hello there,
A bad cough with a disturbed sleep is the picture of a sick child. You can give an syrup Benadryl to control the same. Your anxiety regarding elder brothers in the family and the possibility of assault requires careful attention. Kindly keep a close watch on your child. Since these problems can be disturbing and chronic , you can monitor your child through surveillance camera. This will make you absolutely sure of any wrong doing. Just to be on the safer side, get his blood test and stool test done.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
Take care.
