Suggest remedy for constant headache, stomach pain and body ache
Patient: My son is having a constant headache, stomach pain, body ache, especially in his arms, bottom of his feet, legs, and neck, since last 10days. He has no fever, has good motion, no urination problem, and can eat everything. His doctor says he may be having stomach flu. She ordered all blood work, which was all normal and suggested hydrating him well. Over the counter pain medication, such as children;s Advil has not worked, nor has hot packs. I wanted to know how long it will last as it is not getting better since last 10 days and if there is something else we should be looking at, or should we just wait patiently for the flu to ride out it's own course?  Thank you, Anuradha kamath Doctor: Thanks for contacting HCM.  Dear Anuradha Kamath as all your son's tests are normal you should ask your doctor to evaluate for Juvenile Rhematoid arthrits and if that is also ruled out then it is probably not a physical problem. Children some time react this way to some thing bothering them like a family squabble or most likely someone tormenting them for example a bully in school. It would be good idea to en-quire at school and meet his class teacher and classmates to get to the root of problem. Also shower him with love and affection and get him talking about his problems, he may trust you and tell you. Regards
