Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of constipation and stomach ache which seems to be due to urge incontinece and electrolyte imbalance in body.

Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. Donot lay down immediately after having food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
