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.
Hi, my 16 year old daughter is complaining of stomach pain. The pain does not appear to be localized in any one area. She claims it is not menstrual cramps. She is not a complainer by nature. She claims this has been going on for a couple of days. What steps should I take to eliminate possible causes like intestinal gas?
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain you have problem of abdominal pain that may be because of indigestion problem or gastritis or infection in digestive tract. Without diagnose any condition not start any drugs. Mention a intensity and duration of pain with aggravating factor. Detail history and physical examination give exact idea. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care. Thank you.
Regards, Dr. Rachana Goswami
