What Causes Gas Like Pains In Kid

My son, he is 9, has had gas like pains for the past 2 days. There isn t a fever, but he has lost his appetite. I have given him milk of magnesia to help him poop. Catnip tea for gas and upset tummy. Gas-x for the gas. I have also massaged his abdomen and put a heat pack on his tummy. Is there anything else I can do, or could it possibly be something else?

Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

Your kid has problem of gas from very long period.
If possible contact your gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis.

Lactose intolerant may cause bloted abdomine after taking dairy products. ..

Any intestinal infection or inflammation like celiac disease may cause chronic gas problem.

Irritable bowel syndrom may ruled out.
GERD may cause this type of problems.

Avoid fatty foods and gaseous foods.
Drink more water per day.

Abdominal sonography is helpful for diagnose.
Abdominal x ray can use for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Thanks.
