Suggest remedy for infrequent, painful, dry stools with extreme thirst in a child
Patient: My son is three. His stools are infrequent, painful and always large and dry like clay. He is thirsty all the time. He complains that his tummy hurts and then request a drink. I am more and more concerned, he is growing fine and in good spirits, but he has a weak appetite. Doctor: Hi.... I understand your concern. But if he is also underweight or failing to thrive, then I suggest that you get your kid evaluated for cystic fibrosis because the other symptoms which you are quoting are suggestive of cystic fibrosis.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
