What could cause stomach pain in a 3-year-old?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 3 years old. She weighs about 26.4 pounds. She has been having stomach pain for the last week. I consulted a doctor and was advised to take Cyclopam syrup and Lanzol Junior 15 mg tablet for five days. But after finishing this course, she is also getting stomach pain in the evening or early morning.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
First, we need to find the cause of pain. This could be functional or secondary to some illnesses. Did you look for constipation, vomiting, or urine complaints? How are her activities? Is there any problem during sleep?
Please revert with answers.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
She does not have any vomiting, constipation, or urine problems. There are no problems during sleep. We have consulted a doctor, and he advised the same, but it is not controlled. Later, the doctor advised us to go for an ultrasound, and we did it.
Based on the scan report doctor has said that due to nodes (mesenteric lymphadenopathy), she is getting pain and has now advised us to give Oflex 100 for five days.
But yesterday, again, she was getting more pain in the evening and could not be controlled after giving Cyclopam. We are worried about what to do next. Will the pain go off from the Oflox 100, and what to do next if she is getting more pain in the evening or nighttime?
Please advise.
I have attached the scan reports and other details.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Normally, we see functional pain in children, almost 70 percent, which does not require treatment. But in your child's case, we see mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which can cause abdominal pain. You should give a combination of drugs for five days.
I suggest giving her syrup Normet (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole), one teaspoon twice daily for five days, Lanzol junior (Lansoprazole) (one tablet once in the morning for three days, and syrup Ibugesic plus (Ibuprofen and Paracetamol), one teaspoon twice daily for three days (after meals). Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.
Also, is the pain spasmodic or continuous?
Please let me know if you need any help.
Thank you.
