General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Since there is no relief with the OTC medicines the cause has to be found out. The probable causes in a 9 year old girl can be as follows:
* Constitutional disease such as typhoid
* Viral infection
* Local abdominal problem like gastroenteritis, lymph node enlargement
* Sore throat can be viral or bacterial causing swallowing of infected material causing stomach ache

Hence, I would advise her the following:
* Consult a pediatrician for clinical examination
* Investigations of blood, urine and stool
* Ultrasound of abdomen
All these will lead to a proper diagnosis and hence will have specific treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
