Suggest Treatment For Severe Navel Pain

Hello Doc, my daughter is 6 years old and she is having pain around her navel area for the last 3 days. We have given her albendazole. She is still having the pain (reduced in severity) and she says she also has headache. Please suggest what can be done.

Hi there.

She could be having parasitic infestation especially if she has anal itching or indigestion probably if she has lactose intolerance. Avoid giving pure milk. You can give her curds instead. Get an ultrasound after consulting her Paediatrician to rule out any other bowel problems. Encourage a healthy diet and avoid junk food. Keep her well hydrated.
