Suggest Remedy For Stomach Pain With Bowel Movements
Hi, My 5 year old son says that his tummy hurts every time he eats and he does not eat very much at all. He also has some difficulty having bowel movements. I would just like some advice as to how serious of an issue this may be and what are some ways I may be able to get things moving through his body better?

Hello,
Depending on one or two symptoms it is difficult to say how serious it is. Probably in this age, infection or abdominal colic or urinary tract infection may be cause for pain.
Is he drinking plenty of water? What is the consistency of stools? Is he suffering from Constipation?
Please get one ultrasound scan done, use colic aid syrup. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
