What causes abdominal pain, bloating and foul smelling gas to a 6 year old?
Patient: My six year old daughter has been complaining of mild abdominal pain for the past five days, yesterday her stomach was very bloated after lunch and she had a lot of foul smelling gas the rest of the day. This morning she had pale putty colored stool. She also says she s tired a lot. Doctor: Hi...these are symptoms are viral hepatitis. I suggest you consultant your physician or pediatrician and get her evaluated for acute viral hepatitis. If not it could as be a viral illness or an evildoing enteric fever too.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
