What Could Cause Stomach Pains?
My five year old daughter has been complaing of stomach pain for 3 days. She is 44 in and weighs 40 lbs. She has always been healthy other than having a staph infection last year and three this year. Which I did everything to prevent. She came home from school three days ago complaining and vomited later that night. Then she ate and ate. The next day she ate and played then later the pain was back. This has been the routine each day. I took her to the doctor and they did an abdominal xray that came back fine. They did a urine test and no infection was found but there was ketones. So they checked her glucose and it was 66. She has an appointment again tomorrow. Her stomach is hurting again and I am really worries.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of stomach pains along with vomiting. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system , gas , acid reflux , stomach flu or colic. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child proper rest. You should give her sips of water or other clear fluids, avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice and do not give your child foods or drinks caffeine , carbonated beverages , citrus and dairy products. Give child probiotics. If condition doesn't get better then consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
