Her mother states that Tara has been complaining of pain since yesterday and that she had two toileting accidents. What is Tara s probable medical diagnosis?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The girl in question is mostly having acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Most common cause for AGE is ingestion of infected food or water. She might have contacted this from swimming pool water. Fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea (bowel incontinence) are classical symptoms of AGE. So consult pediatrician and start appropriate treatment for AGE.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
