What Causes Stomach Ache?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my 6 year old daughter has been complaining of stomach aches for that last few days, they have been on and off, but she shortly goes to the washroom for a bowel movement after, is fine then it comes back. It also comes back in the morning when she gets up, or it will wake her up. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi.
The commonest problems at the age of 6 years for the complaints you noted are :
Appendicitis.
Tummy Tonsils meaning inflamed lymph nodes in the abdomen.
Worms to mention a few.
The best way is get a clinical examination done by a Pediatric Surgeon, X-ray of the standing abdomen and ultrasonography. Also get the stool tests, urine and blood work done.

The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis. She can be given a 7 day course of an antibiotic , metronidazole and anti-worm therapy.
