Do Headache, Loss Of Appetite, Abdominal Pain And Shaking Of Hands Indicate ASO?
My 7 years old son has been having severe headache, loss of appetite, pain to one side of his abdomen and pain in his muscles and joints. When he tried to write his hand is jerking uncontrollable. Is this ASO and if it how can I bring it to its normal level

Hello,
No, I don't think all his symptoms are due to high ASO titer.
Better to take him to pediatrician and get done clinical examination, blood reports,ultrasound examination of abdomen and MRI brain to find out cause for his abdominal pain, headache and tremors.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much.
These symptoms are also seen with childhood behavior changes.
So consult pediatric psychiatrist for better evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
