Dear Concerned Parent,
I understand your worry about your child’s persistent stomach pain, vomiting, and constipation for the past 5 days. These symptoms could indicate various conditions such as **gastritis, intestinal infection, constipation, or even a more serious issue like intestinal obstruction or appendicitis** (though vomiting is less common in simple constipation).
The prescribed medications (Rantidine, Ondem, Sucralfate, Oxytecain, and Drotin) are typically used for acidity, nausea, and abdominal spasms, but if there’s no improvement, further evaluation is crucial. The **planned USG (ultrasound) is a good step** to rule out structural problems like intussusception, enlarged lymph nodes, or other abdominal issues.
Next Steps:
1. Ensure hydration** – Small, frequent sips of ORS or coconut water to prevent dehydration from vomiting.
2. Monitor for red flags** – High fever, blood in vomit/stool, severe bloating, or inability to pass gas. If any of these occur, seek **immediate medical attention**.
3. Avoid self-medication** – Some medications may mask symptoms, making diagnosis harder.
Since your child’s condition isn’t improving, I strongly recommend a **detailed consultation** for a proper physical examination and further guidance. Delaying could worsen the situation.
For immediate concerns or to schedule an appointment, you can reach me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.
Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
