What Causes Stomach Aches, Vomitings And Frequent Loose Stools?
my son has had a stomach ache since Tuesday. He says he threw up Tuesday morning, but flushed before I saw it. He eats small meals, but not himself. Today dark circles are under his eyes. No fever that I know of. Pain was in lower right side, but now more on the left side. Frequent loose stools. Activity level way down. I don t know if I should take him to the doctor or if it is viral?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of stomach aches, vomiting and frequent loose stools which seems to be due to food poisoning/ acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. It is due to improper digestion of food and seems to be intolerance to food. I would suggest you not to panic at all. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Give him banana on daily basis and light food. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
