Suggest Medication For Recurring Stomach Cramps And Fever
my five old son had fever two days ago and complained about stomach cramps few times but he recovered from fever without any medication but cramps still persists and again he got fever yesterday with stomach cramps ...i have started giving him econorm sachet twice a day ..is this ok or what medication should be given to him...pls. advice
HI...looks like he is having a prodrome (starting stage) of diarrhea or dysentery. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. If diarrhea starts - I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
