Hi my dear,

Thank you for sharing the concern of you son with HCM.

Giving such drugs to your child will only resolve his symptoms (pain), while the real culprit of the pain would be still there.

So, you must go further and investigate why your child is having stomach ache:
- gastritis/GERD
- stomach flu
- bacterial/candida/parasitic infections
- appendicitis
- urinary tract infection
- infection of penis

I strongly suggest to take another appointment with the pediatrician and ask him/her why your son is having such pain and do further tests including:
- abdominal ultrasound
- urine analysis
- examination of stool for ova/parasite
- culture of stool for candida/bacteria/virus

This is the only way of definitely treating the stomach ache of your son.

Hope it was of help!
