My son experiences sporadic stomach aches. Can you give your suggestion?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Long-standing pain in the abdomen without any added symptoms like weight loss, nausea, recurrent diarrhea, or excessive flatulence can be stress-induced. But before labeling the pain as stress-induced, all the organic causes need to be ruled out. A thorough physical examination will be needed. Adolescence is a very difficult time for a young kid, he is already experiencing so many changes in his body, and this also adds stress.

Hello, Welcome to iclinq.com. Lower limb pains in growing children are usually benign. Normal blood tests and normal X-ray reports also point towards the benign nature of pain. Most probably your child is having growing pains. Can you please recall anything that is common before the pain starts like excessive physical activity or specific footwear? Please share the X-ray image and blood test reports.

My baby is avoiding breast while breast feeding. How to feed her?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You can express breast milk (either manually or by using a breast pump) and give that milk to the baby using a spoon. But the reason for avoiding breastfeeding needs to be evaluated. Nose block is a common cause for refusal to feed. If the child is having a nose block, you can use Nasoclear drops two drops prior to each feed.
