Hi doctor,
My son is 5 years and 2 months old. He has got continuous stomach pain, especially at night time. During the day he is fine. Can I give him Albendazole?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You can give a dose but that is not the main cause of his stomach pain. Most of the kids have stomach pain due to constipation. They say they pass stool regularly, but stool keeps getting accumulated. To confirm, you can just take an X-ray of the erect abdomen. We can see the fecal loading of the colon. I suggest giving syrup Looz (Lactulose) twice daily till the stools become soft. Hope this will definitely help you.
