Question 1

My son is 3 years and 10 months old. For the last 7 to 8 days he has been feeling discomfort in his stomach. I gave him Enterogermina for 3 days, twice a day, but it did not reduce. Now he feels this discomfort in different places like the middle of the chest, left side of the chest, right side of the stomach under the ribs, and above and below the navel. This discomfort lasts for a few seconds and happens 9 to 10 times a day. For the last 3 to 4 days his motion is normal. His urine routine test report is also normal. His pediatrician checked him and told me that physically he has no problem. He prescribed Drotin DS 7.5 ml, twice daily, but after giving this medicine the problem increased. He does not have any other problems and is playful. What should I do? Should I stop this medicine?

Question 2

My father experienced severe stomach pain and he also suffers from constipation. Now his pain is almost gone. His blood reports of liver and kidney are normal but the stool occult blood report is positive. What does that mean?

Question 3

My wife has been suffering from constant stomach pain for the last 15 to 20 days. We visited a doctor and had a blood test that confirmed typhoid. She has been taking medication prescribed by the doctor for one week. After that, we did another blood test and stool examination as advised, and the doctor said the typhoid is cured, but there is still a stomach infection because there is some blood in the stool. She was given another three day course of medicine, but there has been no improvement. Please suggest what we should do next.

I had loose smelly stool and some pain. I started with Zenflox OZ. I also have celiac. My report says budding yeast in stool positive. What should I do?

Budding yeast in stool may indicate fungal overgrowth. Continue Zenflox OZ as prescribed. If symptoms persist, antifungal treatment or probiotics may be needed.
