Suggest Treatment For Worm Infestation In Stomach

Worms
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I understand your concerns regarding your kid's pain. It could be worm infestation. Usually this happens in this condition. We can confidently rule out non-organic pain as the age is not fitting and at the same time, this is occurring during sleep.
Regarding your questions -
1. I can see the kid is suffering. I will be more worried if she has vomiting which is green in color, blood in stools or weight loss or rash over the body. These are the danger signs which you need to be worried about.
2. You told she has the habit of holding her bowels, but she is not constipated. This is suggestive of "Voiding Dysfunction". I suggest you get an Ultrasound scan done with this provisional diagnosis in mind. But this requires a pre and post void scan.
3. Kindly get back to me with answers to these questions -
a) Did she have urinary infections in the past
b) Is there a family history of constipation
c) Is there a possibility that during play she might have introduced a toy part into her
4. This doesn't look like a simple tummy ache. Please do not ignore.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Worm infestation
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... Thank you for the trust in me.
Rash - Look for red, papular rash which can be felt by hand on touching.
It need not be itchy.
It might come predominantly in the lower limbs.
Worms - These can be pin worms or seat worms as they are commonly called.
These worms have a life cycle in such a way that they come out to lay
eggs in and around anus and this could manifest like this.
voiding dysfunction - It may present like this and this is confirmed only by
ultrasound abdomen. But the symptoms will also include
inability yo hold back the urine once the sensation starts.
If can get a scan done and if ti is normal, then you can stay assured that nothing serious is going on in the kid. You can give a try of de-worming with Albendazole once dose of 200mg today and another dose of 200mg 10days later.
