My 4 year old child, weighing 15kg has abdominal pains has abdominal pains on and off especially when feeding. She takes long when she goes to poo and at times nothing comes out. The initial poo is hard but the remainder isnt and is not bloody. Her doctor has been treating her for constipation with no much improvement. Any other possible causes
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of abdominal pain and constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, inadequate fibers in diet, lactose intolerance, intestinal Illus or due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test, ultrasound, endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe laxative, ornidazole or albendazole along with sanitizing. For now eat light and non-spicy. Avoid spicy and sharp food and keep your head elevated while lying down.  Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
