Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain
Hello
My sister(13yrs old) is suffering from severe abdomianl pain since last 4-5 days. She is not vomiting, but yes feels nauseated sometimes..we consulted our family doctor and said this is happening due to a 'swelling on her intestine' she is on medications right now. But the pain is persistent.
She doesn't feel the urge to eat anything, we are scared she might become weak if this continues..kindly provide me some suggestions, specially related to her diet.
Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Your mentioning the names of the medicines prescribed to your sister would have helped me to help you more.
Well, the causes of abdominal pain without vomiting can be due to intestinal infection / swelling and even the best medicines can take few days to show the results.
This is the reason for nausea and loss of appetite.
I would advise the following for you sister:
Soft and bland diet, more and small frequent feeds.
Continue the medicines as advised by your Doctor.
You can add Domperidone and antacid, probiotic,
Get the blood tests for typhoid, the commonest cause of swelling of the intestine.
If required or if you feel that she has become weak, get her admitted to the hospital
