Suggest Medication For Abdominal Pain

Sir/Madam, My son aged 2 1/2 years has been suffering from stomachache since two weeks. His weight is 10 kg only. Though he is not continuously informing about the pain in stomach but often he is reporting the same. We consulted the doctor he prescribed some antibiotic syrups. After a week to 10 days he suffered with nausea one time and motions some time. After explaining the situation to the doctor he suggested for blood and urine test and ultra scanning of abdomen. Blood tests are normal just the Hemoglobin percentage is less compare to actual. He has Hemoglobin as 10.4 only while actual normal has to be between 13.5-18.5 as per their report. But in the matter of T.W.B.C. he has 12900 cells/cu mm while actual should be between 4000-11000. It seems much than actual. Regarding ultra scanning report all the report is normal. But at the end of the report they mentioned Few enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes are noted in epigastrium and umbilical regions, largest one measuring 15x8 mm. They gave the impression as: Feature suggestive of mesenteric lymphadenopathy. *Suggested clinical correlation and further evaluation. After going through the report our regular doctor prescribed cyclopam for pain, zifi for cough/cold or as antibiotic. As we are not satisfied with the treatment of the doctor, I brought my son to another doctor where he given us lot of courage saying that this is the normal problem in children and it will be cured. He prescribed OFSIVITA, ENTEROGERMINA, Z & D, JUNIOR LANZOL, D-TUS FOR FIVE DAYS AND ADVISED TO STOP THE MEDICINE AFTER THE SAID PERIOD AND THE DISEASE WILL CURE ITS OWN. There is no fever, continuous motions, vomiting, night swet are noted in my son. But he is looking like too weak and not active than the previous days. He is playing but not with previous excitement. For the past few days we are trying to give liquid food to him. That may be one of the causes for his weakness. But his digestive power is too low since his birth. As on 15.01.2011 his weight is 11.3 kgs. In this regard, some people are scaring us that if we not take good treatment, this may be leads to different diseases such as TB, Cancer, etc. Sir, we are in too much tension. We are also not eating our food properly. This problem is from about 4 to 5 months we are facing. Recently a person by reading information which I put online, called me from Gujarat and he has a son of 5 years old having the same symptoms since 9 months. He informed that no Doctor is giving concurrent answer and he told that they are telling that this is normal infection which cures itself only within a few days or weeks or years. Till now I didn’t get my son for TB test and I am scared about the test to clarify my doubt that whether this problem is due to any cancer virus. We hope that you will help us in this regard for advising us as well as giving courage. Kindly suggest best cautions to be taken, medicine to be used, and the food to be given. We are in need of early reply sir. Thanking you, God may bless you. Muhammad Siddiq Bhimavaram W.G. Dist., Andhra Pradesh 0000

thanks for consultation.
you have given detailed history but please donot worry at all.
few thing regarding the tests
ultrasound is showing mesenteric Adenitis.it can cause abdomen pain temporarily.it is due to recent flu and common cold.
Low Hb is physiological at this age but he can benefit from iron supplement.
my humble advice is to stop all medications.let start normal food of his age.take care his body hygiene and his utensils.
Do timely vaccination.
if any family member is positive for tuberculosis then there is no harm to test him for TB.with the following test.
1.ESR test.
2.skin PPD test and read after 72 hrs.
3.stomach wash for for AfB and culture for 3 consecutive days.
4.TB quantiferon Gold blood test which is very sensitive TB test if all above are negative.
But I assure you he does not any major illness.the above tests are for parenteral satisfaction only.
I find this answer helpful
