What Does Intermittent Stomach Pain And Pain Under The Rib Cage Of A Child Indicate?

My four year old has been complaining about a stomach ache on and off for the last few days. She seems fine, but says it hurts just a little under the middle of her rib cage. We ve given her PeptoBismol (not sure if she just likes the bubblegum flavor) and most recently a laxative which has yet to take effect.

hai thank you for your question. if you would have bought your kid to my opd i would tell you not to worry unlesa the baby is having food and is passing stools and urine properly. if the baby is active first give her alebendazole 400mg at night. many kids will have helminthic infections which causes stomach pain and decreased appetite . .check for worms in stool next day. continue giving the antacid. hope she will b better soon.
