Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 11 year old son is having abdomen pain (not confined to any specific part of abdomen) for last 10 days. local doctor has diagonised it as enteritis and adviced Ziprax (7.5 ml X 2), Metrogyl(10ml X 3) and Mucaine gel(5ml X3). His pain is still there even after 6 days of medicine. Kindly advive
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
As the history is of more than 10 days, and he already had some antibiotics for six days without any relief, in my opinion you should get him assessed by a general surgeon/paediatric surgeon in your area to have proper clinical assessment and related investigations like ultrasound to arrive at an appropriate diagnosis and management. Without a proper clinical examination, it might not be possible to opine on this problem over the net.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your son's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
