Suggest Remedy For Stomach Pain With Passing Of Gas
My four year old son has been complaining of stomach pain after dinner on and off for the last two weeks. It seems to come and go and he is passing a lot of gas. He also burped and some acid came up. Is this just gas pains? Are there foods he should avoid? He has no medical history to speak of. Thanks.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of stomach pain with passing of gas which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and due to improper metabolism and incomplete digestion of food. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper rest. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
