Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Vomiting
My 9 yr old daughter experienced what we believe to be stomach flu 3 weeks ago, it started with stomach pain then vomiting/ dry heaving for 12 hrs then she felt better. But te stomach pain as stayed settling in her belly button area, a couple days it hurt, during the last couple weeks and she cryed, but the other das she said it only hurt when presure is applies. All urine / blood est are normal. Tonight after eating a salad, she said that she has to take a deep breath to get a breath and she had one other episode of this breathing issue last spring. Any ideas, I feel helpless, as she has a high tolerance in pain she seems like it is just an annoyance to others but I know she is serious as she does not tell us things thinking it I'll go away and only mentions when it doesn't. She is a trooper but I am concerned.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Abdominal pain and vomiting could be due to acute gastroenteritis,viral gastroenteritis,diverticulitis etc.
She must undergo routine blood count,electrolytes with clinical examination of abdomen or ultrasound of abdomen.
You might require antibiotics(quinolones or cephalosporins or antiprotozoals etc.) with antiemetic, antispasmodics and antiinflammatories with prebiotics and probiotics.
There might be great need of fluid and electrolyte balance in body.
You must consult pediatrician for immediate treatment.
