Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain

My 7 year old son has had stomach aches for months now. They are getting worse by the day. When I ask were it hurts he starts in the middle of his upper stomach then goes to the right then to the left and says it hurt a little below his belly button. He is not throwing up. No fever, however he says the pain makes his head and eyes hurt. It is starting to effect him wanting to eat. He has had black thick sticky stool. Also his butt icthes sometimes. What is going on?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise your son not to eat from outside specially fried and fast food along with the aerated drinks, as some components of these might cause hyper sensitivity reactions in the intestinal mucosa giving rise to such symptoms. Also intestinal infections could creep in from outside food. I would also advise for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive in addition to a urine routine/microscopic test. However, he would need a clinical assessment of his abdomen along with an ultrasound of the abdomen not to miss out any other intra abdominal pathology. Therefore, I would advise you to get him clinically assessed by a general surgeon/family physician in your area for further management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
