Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history related to your 5-month old son who was borne 1 month premature. Mother's milk is not available hence he is given cow-milk. He keeps crying as if there is he has tummy ache. e is also sounding like having sore throat. I would advise you the following: First of all check the peri-anal area for excoriation and redness and fissure. Send the sample of stool for routine checkup and lactose intolerance. Get a consultation of a Pediatric Surgeon to have proper clinical evaluation and examination, and if necessary the second opinion of an ENT Surgeon as these are the two areas which can cause distress in an infant. The treatment will be as per the diagnosis made by these Doctors or the Pediatrician.
