What causes abdomen pain with blotchy skin in a 4 year old?
Patient: My daughter is 4 years old and has had severe stomach pains for 4 days which usually starts after lunch and lasts until she goes to bed at 8:00. No fever, she has red blotchy skin, slight cough, burps, vomiting the first two days and has pale skin. We ve been to the hospital twice and they say they can t do anything. Please help. Doctor: it might be due to bacterial infection or ulcerative gastritis,, use antacid therapy for 5days with soft diet and plenty of oral fluids. in ulcerative gastritis the children will look pale and lethargic.. get routine blood counts with hemoglobin. use iron and folic acid if the hemoglobin is low.
