Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Fever And Stomach Pain In Children?
I have a 4 year old daughter that for about 2 months for 1 day each week runs a fever and complains her stomach hurts. I took her to the hospital and they took a blood test,urine sample,ultra sound,intestine track,appendix and ever thing came back negative. I don t know what s going on but even her doctor is baffled.
Have you ever recorded fever? If significant, it is unlikely to disappear in 1 day without treatment.
So try recording fever with a thermometer and keep a diary of the same to see whether it is truly fever or not. Only if this reveals frequent fever, we need to look further.
Some abdominal pain, especially around umbilicus is quite common in children of this age- called functional abdominal pain, which we need not worry about, and she will overgrow with time.
A normal blood test, urine test and ultrasound supports this diagnosis. Deworm her once with albendazol 400mg once, if not done in last 6 months. Avoid caffeinated items as far as possible. Include fibre rich items in diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
