What Is The Suggested Treatment For Frequent Stomach Ache?
my 6 year old son was ill last week with a feeling of general unwellness, he had a runny nose, sore stomach (all over , not restricted to any one area) and also pain in his knee (which came and went, was not constant). We saw the GP who thought it was a viral illness. He got better after about 5 days. He was well for perhaps 2 days and the pain in his tummy started again the night before last. Yesterday morning he wouldnt eat anything before going to school as he said he was full despite not eating his dinner the night before either. Last night he woke from his sleep with a pain in his knee. This morning he seems quite well again. I am wondering if there is any reason for concern.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Recurrent abdominal pain occurs due to worm infestation, urinary tract infection, Amoebic colitis and several other causes.
Try metronidazole for 5 days as well as Albendazole once after food.
Syrup containing digestive enzymes may help.
Better consult pediatrician to pin point the diagnosis.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
