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 Chat Doctor. 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 syn Chat Doctor.  Need not 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 sanitizing.
