Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grandson went to the doctors with severe, semi-acute pain in his throat and stomach, stating that he couldn’t swallow. We thought it was possibly Strep throat since he felt as though he may have a fever as well. My daughter took him to the doctors and they ruled out strep throat and sent them to the ER for imaging. After they did a CT scan at the hospital they are saying he has air in his throat and stomach and they can’t explain why. They are having to use morphine to address the pain. Now they are transferring him to the children’s hospital for additional testing. What are the possible causes?
