What Causes Constant Stomach Pain In A Child?

Likely to be due to gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your daughter's problem seems to be due to gastritis. The stomach acid could have caused the problems.
In order to relieve her, you need to make her do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Giver her Nexpro Junior XXXXXXX once daily before breakfast.
* Give her some antiemetic like ondansetron.
* Give her plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular play forfor at 1 hour a day to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
Let me know if that helps.
Regards


What food is advisable to her during her current sickness ?
Bland diet preferred but no specific recommendation
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.It is preferable to avoid spicy food and chillies (which I assume that you avoid anyway). There is no other specific recommendation related to food.
Give her ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the fluid and salts lost due to vomiting and diarrhea.
