My Baby Is 2Y 8months Old, She Is Having Stomach Pain And Light Fever What Is The Remedy For This?
Question: Hi, My baby is 2Y 8months Old, she is having stomach pain and light fever, she had eaten unhealthy food last night like ice cream, lollipop. What is the remedy for this?
Brief Answer:
Need only Paracetamol as of now
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A sudden onset of fever and abdominal pain in a child can suggest a viral fever or early phase of a bowel infection(acute gastero-enteritis).
If she is otherwise playful, we need not worry much. Just give her Paracetamol. You can give Paracetamol suspension (250mg/5ml) 4ml every 6-8 hours for next 48 hours (guess her weight to be 13-15kg). Give a soft diet and let her drink enough fluids.
If she is not getting better in 2-3 days or if she develops fresh symptoms like vomiting, loose stools or urinary disturbances(pain on passing or too frequent passing), let me know. Otherwise, nothing to. worry.
I hope this answer will help

Better to do
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
As my above queries were not answered, still I am not sure about the cause of the pain.
But, since the pain following a fever, there is a chance of this being caused by a bowel infection/inflammation. The size of mesenteric lymph nodes mentioned in the scanning are also significant(>1cm). In such cases, doing a blood count, ESR and CRP will give us more clues. If all are in line with infection, this will respond to a course of antibiotics.
Let me know if I can assist you further

Brief Answer:
Might be suffering from gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Pain over the abdomen just below the chest (the epigastrium), especially after eating, suggests acute gastritis and is common following viral illnesses. But, as I said earlier, I would prefer doing blood tests given the size of abdominal lymph nodes. Also, a direct abdominal examination is helpful- in gastritis, she can have tenderness on pressing over the epigastrium.
If confirmed, gastritis will respond to antacids and acid-lowering drugs like Lansoprazole taken for 5 days. Also, we have to avoid hot/spicy/oily items for 7-10 days. Giving a lot of fruits and vegetables is good. So, as an alternate option, we can try these measures first and do blood tests if no relief in 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query
If you need further clarification, I will be happy to help; otherwise, you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.
Wishing you good health

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can give
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, you can give mixed with milk/juice/honey.
But try to limit the quantity and use a small cup, as too much quantity or a larger cup might prevent the entire dose from reaching inside(will be adhering to the side of glass/bottle)
