My daughter is 4.5 years old, since last 2-3 weeks she has to go to toilet after each food intec. We thought it will settle itself but this has not and now she complains of pain due to frequent toilet visits. Can you Pl advise what we should do in this situation.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* Food induced bacterial or viral gut infection responsible for frequent bathroom visits and abdomen pain.

* Recommendations for best recovery

- allow more liquids in sessions including boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, buttermilk, oral rehydration salt

- mefenamic acid with dicyclomine syrup as antispasmodic medicine
- probiotics with lactobacillus content (sachets available for pediatric)
- GI specific antibiotic as metronidazole or others as per his pediatrician choice
- dietary precautions to avoid spices, dairy fat, junk food, aerated drinks as well
- hygiene care of oral cavity and hands after each bathroom visit and before, after intake by mouth whether any liquids or solid.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
