Given Paracetamol For Constant Abdominal Pain In A Child. Could It Be An Allergy?

Hi
My 7 year old daughter frequently gets pain in her tummy and her school kept sending her home, but it never really developed into anything and she would just rest at home and go to school the next day. After it had happened a few times, I took her to the doctor, who prodded her tummy and said it felt fine and said that it was abdominal migraines, which were common in children and she should just have child paracetamol and rest and it would pass. I accepted this, but having kept an eye on it, it happens generally after eating and she often seems to have a lot of wind and sometimes very smelly at the same time as the tummyaches. She has a balanced diet and is otherwise healthy - but could it be an allergy or something other than abdominal migraines?

it can be food protein allergy
as oner or more of major foods proteins start reacting with the body proteins to cause these problems
in my opinion if you get blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk wheat potato chana and other food you take in consultation with allergy specialist and withdraw the foods your child will be benefitted in my opinion
I find this answer helpful
