my son is 8 and has been complaining about stomach aches for two weeks, off and on, he has had diarrhea about 3 times in the last two weeks and throw up once, there was also a little blood in his stool yesterday, called his doctors office and they dont think there is an issue, should i contact a specialist?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your child has blood in stools and is complaining of pain in abdomen for 2 weeks, this could be due to dysentery. Dysentery usually occurs due to bacterial or amoebic infection, at this its mostly bacterial. In my opinion, you should give tablet oflox-ornidazole half tab three times a day for 3 days and give tablet albendazole once at night before sleep. I hope this will help you. Review after 2 days. Take care. Regards: Chat Doctor.
