Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain In A Child

I have a 3 year old that has complained of severe abdominal pain on and off for the past year, She was seen in the local ED 2 weeks ago and we insisted on a CT which was unremarkable , He SGOT was elevated 47, she is only 27 lbs . she still has the same complaints and now increased temps greater than 102 . Very concerned. Has normal bowel movements , don t feel constipation is the issue , however she does appear to have some gastritis, what would cause her SGOT to be elevated.

HI...mild elevation of SGOT doesn't mean anything. it is a very non specific test to rely on solely.

hatever you are describing is called Chronic Pain Abdomen in medical terms.

The differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children varies with age, gender, genetic predisposition, nutritional exposure and many environmental factors. The causes are many including - constipation / acid peptic disorders / inflammatory bowel disorders / irritable bowel syndrome / worm infestation etc.

I suggest you see your pediatrician or a pediatric gastroenterologist for this.
