Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Stomach Pain And Swollen Glands In Throat
My daughter complains randomly of having tummy ache. A few times over last 3 months this has caused her to be sick, but not proper chunky sick, nor bright yellow bile. It is beige and without chunks. She also has had swollen glands in throat for 6 weeks. Dr is referring her to rapid access clinic at hospital. What can this be?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you daughter have symptoms of intermittent stomach pain and swollen glands in throat which is commonly due to viral infection accompanied by flu like symptoms. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do gargles with warm saline water , drink plenty of fluid to keep yourself hydrated. You should take plenty of fluids. Avoid outside and sharp spicy food. Usually virus complete its course , so drugs are given to relief symptoms. If symptoms persist or get worse then you should consult ENT specialist for proper examination and to rule out conditions like acid reflux and bacterial infection . Doctor may order blood test or throat swab test to confirm diagnosis . He/she may prescribe decongestants , antibiotics/antiviral depending upon your condition. You should take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and inflammation and take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
