What Causes Abdominal Pain And Loose Stools In A Child?
Hello Doctor, My son is 5 yrs old. He started complaining stomach pain from yesterday evening. And yesterday night onwards he had loose stools 4 times in the night and today morning to now 6 times. Early morning i gave him a dose of Calpol as he caught with high temperature as well. I had given ORS and one dose of OFM as well. Still it is not contained. Now he again has mild temperature. Should i continue with OFM and calpol or any other medication. Please suggest.

Hello,
I think he is suffering from a gastrointestinal infection possibly viral infection. You may need to give him Simethicone to help cope with diarrhea. Also give him enterogermina to establish the intestinal flora. Remember to keep him hydrated giving more fluids and water. You can use Tresol also to substitute fluids and minerals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
