Hello doctor,

Kindly suggest a treatment.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Kids may suffer from dyspepsia depending on their dietary habits, especially if they eat a lot of junk food. The medicines as prescribed by the doctor are a good choice. Start with these medications. Take care of the following :

  1. Cut short his junk food, soft drinks, and chocolates.
  2. Make sure he drinks plenty of water.
  3. Check whether he passes stool daily.
  4. Make sure he finishes his dinner three hours before bed.
  5. Hand washing is a must.

Please try to elaborate more on his condition by answering these questions:

  1. Where exactly is the pain, and what time of day is usually more?
  2. How is his hunger?
  3. How are his bowel habits, vomiting, and fever?
  4. Is he having tonsils or frequent sore throats?

Kindly follow up with the answers.

Thank you.
