How To Cure Abdominal Pain In Kids?

My 7 year old son has been complaining of abdominal pain in the last month. Last week he had a red spotty rash all over his legs. Dr did a urine strip test which showed Protein. This was sent for pathology testing which showed Protein and Red Blood Cells. Another strip test was done yesterday by the Dr which showed Protein and Ketones. This has also been sent to pathology. His abdomonal still persists.

Hello welcome to the HCM,
Brief ..it could be Henoch scolin purpura or nephrotic syndrome
Detail...Since Henoch scolin purpura is a autoimmune response which may follow any respiratory disease.other cause of ketones and protein in urine at this age can be nephrotic syndrome.
Both syndromes need to be evaluated by nephroligist as both may need steroids for treatment.You may also get ultrasound abdomen and X-ray KUB to rule out any other kidney disease.
You may discuss further without any hesitation.
