Hi there, dd (9) has had a tummy ache since March. It comes and goes but when it's bad she is in tears - which is VERY unlike her - she's usually tough as old boots. She says she feels sick and her tummy hurts - achey not sharp pain.
I've taken her to the docs 3 times, first time they gave her some fibre drink stuff to sort out her bowels in case she was constipated. We gave her the drink but it didn't sort the tummy ache.
2nd time we went she was examined properly and a urine sample taken. Doc couldn't find anything and said that sometimes children have tummy aches and to pretty much just get on with it.
3rd time they gave her an anti-b in case of uti. She still has the on/off pain no change, she wakes in the night saying it's painful.
I will take her back to the docs but I'm wondering if she is intolerant to some food?? I have no other ideas and don't really know where to go from here.
Anyone got any advice or q's I can ask the doc?
