Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Vomiting In A Toddler?
My three year old is having severe stomach pains for 6 days, today her heart rate 96 with a BP of 133/91. Dr sent her home and said he would check on her in the morning and if not better possibly admit. She has also lost 5 lbs in the last week. No fever and only vomits once a day which is usually clear foamy liquid in a small amount. Should I be worried and push for her to be admitted sooner? No tests have been run at this point
Understanding your concern. As per your query your toddler have symptoms of severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like -food poisoning -food allergy -infection of digestive system -acid reflux -stomach flu or colic .
Need not to worry. You should take oral rehydration solution as well. I would suggest you to sips of water or other clear fluids on a very frequent basis. You should avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce and do not take foods or drinks caffeine , carbonated beverages , citrus and dairy products. If condition doesn't get better then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and get complete examination done. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
