What Causes Recurring Stomach Pain?
Hello Doctor, Our 7 year old son has been complaining about his stomach hurting off and on all week. We made sure that it wasn t his appendix by applying pressure to that area. He doesn t have a fever and doesn t have diahrea. He s very active and to see him down like this is mind boggling. Is there anything else going around attacking children?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of recurring stomach pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis , food poisoning, poor food absorption, irritable bowel syndrome , lactose intolerance and intestinal Ileus. Need not to worry. For now eat light and non spicy , avoid food like nuts and keep her head elevated while lying down. you should avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test, ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe Ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. Drink plenty of fluids and take diet rich in fibres.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
