What Can I Do For Severe Stomach Ache Which Is Hurting My Daughter?
Hi, My daughter is 13, has ASD and epilepsy. She has a really bad blocked nose, sore throat, ulcers on her tongue and is complaining of a tummy ache. The tummy ache hurts when I feel and apply pressure to her tummy. She has had this for 2 days and looks really run down. I thought it was just a cold but the tummy ache is causing me to worry as it is not easing up and i'm not sure what to give her to make her feel better as she is already on medication for her Epilepsy (Epilim and Lamotrigine). She finished her last period a week ago and said yesterday that it hurt when she went for a wee but it doesn't today its just painful to push it.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
If the pain is in upper abdomen, it can be due to gastritis.
If its in lower abdomen, that its mostly due to constipation.
I would suggest that you start her on a ppi like omeprazole or pantaprazole along with a bowel motility enhancer like levosulpride.
And you need to give her a vitamin b-complex supplements for her mouth ulcers. You can also give her an anaesthetic mouth gel to be applied locally to releave the pain so that she can eat comfortably.
But for all these prescriptions you need to see a local doctor.

Dr. Ashish Verma
