What causes stomach cramps along with sore throat in children?
Patient: my little girl will be 6 next weekend, shes complained of stomach cramps for a few weeks an most to nearly everyday, yesterday she had a sore throat an she woke up with a sore neck, an for 2 days her poo is green...her diet is pretty poor I try make her eat her vegies but usually gets out of it but is obcessed with salt an vinger chips? any answer u can think of? Doctor: Hi, the child has gastritis along with an Upper airway infection. Spicy food usually causes gastritis and reflux in children. Sore neck could either be due to gastritis and reflux or due to infection. Give her tab Junior Lanzol 15 mg one tablet once daily empty stomach in morning for next 3 to 5 days. Also de-worm the child with tablet Albendazole 400mg one tablet stat. Avoid spicy and oily food and give her regular food like curd and rice. For sore throat, dont give any antibiotics right now since she just have pain in the throat and not running high fever or any other symptoms. Supplement her with Syrup B complex 5 ml once a day for 15 days.Thanks and regards.
