How Can Stomach Ache And Diarrhea In An Infant Be Treated?
Hi
My 21months old boy is complaining of stomach pain now and then for a week or 10 days now.... But no crying band no consistent complaints too.
It all started with diarrhoea on one day with 2worms in his poop.I had dewormed him twice since then with 15days gap. Then this stomach pain complaints started after 2days. Diarrhoea again occurred on the next day of 2nd dose of bendex for oneday. Since then poop is messy loose and smelling like garlic especially today. Today is 3rd day after 2nd dose. Otherwise baby is perfectly fine and playing.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
First of all, its great to hear that the child is dewormed. Abdominal discomfort is very common in growing children. It occurs mainly due to normal spasm in normal situations. Simple antispasmodics solve it. But if the child shows untoward symptoms (irritated, crying, severe vomiting, frequent vomiting, fever, swelling of the abdomen, no passage of stool, the passage of blood per anum); then it alarms to get medical attention.
Otherwise, in most situations, it's a regular phenomenon in children.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
