Suggest Remedy For Severe Abdominal Pain In A Child
My daughter is 6 she woke up in middle of the night holding her stomach saying it hurts and thinks she has to throw up soon after she said that she throws up. Can she have the stomach flu? Could it be something more serious, should I take her to da Dr? Its like a white foamy throw up
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having symptoms of severe abdominal pain. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system, acid reflex , stomach flu or colic. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to have quietly sips of water or other clear fluids. You should give child oral re-hydrating solution as well. Avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce, or crackers and do not give your child foods or drinks caffeine, carbonated beverages, citrus and dairy products. If condition doesn't get better then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid.
