What causes severe abdominal pain in children?
Patient: My son went to the ER the night before last with severe abdominal pain. The conclusion was that he is constipated. He has taken 2 doses of miralax and, today I gave him a children's enema. Still no significant bowel movement. How concerned should I be about this? I really can't afford to miss work, but I don't want to let this go too long. Doctor: Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. In my opinion, you should take him back to the ER of the nearest hospital for a review to rule out any surgical cause for the pain abdomen. For the present avoid repeating any more enema. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
