Brief Answer:
Needs ultrasound and clinical examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
You have mentioned that your child is suffering for the last 4 days.
If darolac would have worked it should have by now.
It is better to get her checked up by your pediatrician and get ultrasound abdomen if needed to rule out causes of abdominal pain like gastritis or appendicitis or subacute intestinal obstruction.
It is better not to delay further with over the counter medicines.
Take her immediately to your pediatrician or nearby health centre.
