Would Coxsackie Virus Lead To Stomach Upset And Headache?

My son, who is now 13, had the coxsackie virus when he was in the second grade. I am inquiring about the long term effects of this disease. He is active, healthy and exceeds academically. However, he often experiences stomach upset and headaches. His doctor claims he is healthy. There is little to no research on the after-effects of this virus, and I would greatly appreciate some direction.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Coxackie virus infection is self limited. It will be cured with in a short time.

Antibiotic therapy can be taken to prevent secondary infection.

It will never causes any stomach upset and other things.

I think other things will be having different origin.

I request you to kindly get your child's examination done for other causes if stomach upsets. The most common causes of the stomach upset in the child is the worm infestation.

Please maintain hygiene in your living as it is also important as taking the treatment.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
