What Is The Treatment For Stomach Pain?
Hello my daughter is 5 yrs old and she s been having some stomach pains since last saturday and we ve been told that there is a stomach virus going around. She also has vomited during the week but maintains average temperatures. We are just concerned, would we be able to give her Pepto Bismol or something to elevate the pain?
