Brief Answer:
Suggestions on pain abdomen

Detailed Answer:
HI...there are two possibilities -
1. Itching at urinary area and intermittent pain abdomen are symptoms of worm infestation. You need to use Tablet Albendazole 400mg one tablet now and another after 10 days. This will set things right please.

2. As you are giving Maxtra, the Phenylephrine in it can cause pain abdomen and so I recommend you stop it. Better not use Phenylephrine as it may cause faster heart rate and tachycardia sometimes.

You need to worry about pain abdomen only if you observe above danger symptoms which I have inquired about.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
