General & Family Physician, Dr. Ashakiran S's Response

Hi,

Based on the symptoms you have described your daughter, it would be better to get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen done to know what could be the cause for it.

The underlying cause can be treated accordingly. If she is unable to bear the symptoms and if it is happening more frequently, it is advisable to take her to the hospital promptly.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
