Hello,
For severe
stomach cramps and lower backache due to periods she can take Midol (Naproxen), if she is in discomfort for the whole day. Spasmol (
Spasmoproxyvon), one SOS when required is also effective in severe stomach/uterine or intestinal cramping. If the pain is milder she can take
acetaminophen (Tylenol), one SOS when required.
Period pain is often associated with
indigestion and formation of gas (gastritis).
Sometimes, taking antacids is enough for relieve. She can take a mild dose of Ranitidine, Rantac (150mg), one SOS when required. Help her stay hydrated, well fed and relaxed. Not much to worry, these are normal female symptoms. She is just 11 yrs now, have a little patience, she will adjust soon as she grows.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
