Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of upper right side stomach pain which seems to be due to improper digestion and incomplete metabolism of child. It could be due to food intolerance. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give your child plenty of fluids. Give diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid intake of sharp, spicy and oily food. Visit pediatrician once and get complete examination done. You can start with proper course of antacids and proton pump inhibitors as well. Avoid giving any outside food to child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
