What Causes Stomach Ache In A Child?

my 4 year old daughter has been complaining of a tummy ache since yesterday morning. She has had a lot of gas since yesterday morning also. This morning she woke up with a cough and a temp of 100.0. I gave her some tylenol and the temperature came right down and stayed down but she still has the tummy ache.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
A gastrointestinal infection could be the cause of the tummy ache. To be able to determine the actual cause of the pain and fever, your child needs to be evaluated clinically and I would suggest you to visit a doctor. However, you have done the right thing by giving her tylenol.
