Hello doctor,
I have a 3.6 years old daughter, who weighs 10.5 kg. She is very thin and not a foodie. She is hyperactive when she is well. Sometimes, she complains of pain in the abdomen. It is going on from 1 to 2 months. The doctor advised getting an ultrasonography. She has been complaining of having continuous pain from 10 days. She also had a 101 fever. So, we got an ultrasonography, and the report shows, few discrete right iliac mesenteric lymph nodes, which is likely to be mesenteric lymphadenitis. We consulted the doctor again with the ultrasonography report, and he prescribed the following medicines and asked for stool routine test, blood test, and Mantoux test.
He prescribed Calpol 250, Cyclopam suspension, Junior Lanzol 15, one tablet in the morning for a week, and Metrogyl syrup 2.5 ml, thrice daily for five days. After having two doses of these medicines, she is not recovering from the pain and her stool is becoming loose and mucus mixed. She defecates 4 to 5 days daily. Before the medicines, she was complaining of hard stools. Now, from 2 to 3 days, she is having loose stool and the color of the stool is also not good. She is not having a fever now.
We also performed the blood tests including Mantoux test and stool test, as suggested by the doctor. We got the reports, and I am attaching the same. Mantoux test result is still not out. The doctor said that it is some viral infection and prescribed the following. Zinconia syrup (2.5 ml, two times a day after food for two weeks), Tufpro or Progermina mini bottle (5 ml, two times a day for five days), and the doctor also advised stopping Lanzol 15 tablets. Now, we are in confusion whether the doctor has been able to identify the problem or not.

Thank you doctor,
Her stool is not so loose as normally see in diarrhea or loose motion. But the color of the stool is not good. It is a slightly blackish-green type.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for replying. The Mantoux result is out. The result says erythema 13 mm and induration 11 mm noted at the site of innoculation of PPD of strength 05 TU after 48 to 72 hours. The impression is, the patient is hypertensive to tuberculin in the strength used.
