What Causes Abdominal Pain Along With Diarrhea?

Hi. My 15 year old, otherwise very healthy, son just woke up with moderate to severe upper abdominal pain. He couldn t stand up straight. Went to the bathroom after while and had diarrhea. Afterwards he is itching all over his body and says his head is throbbing. Stomach pain is better. Any thoughts??

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
I would like to ask you is this first time he is facing all this episode.
It seems like he has got allergic reaction to some food,medications or chemicals.You need to carefull observe and correlate such episode with recent exposure to any provoking factor.Avoiding that provoking factor will prevent further recurrences.
As of now,I recommend following if I was his treating doctor,
-Tab cetrizine once a day for 3 day and antacid in morning.
-Tab paracetamol as analgesic antipyretic
-Have adequate rest and plenty intake of water.Intake of oral rehydration salt solution is recommended.
If the abdominal pain and diarrhea continues beyond 2 days or worens after 1 day,visit to physician.In that case,infectious origin may be suspected and antibiotics may be given.
Hope this information helps.
Thannks and regards.
