[|Human|] my 3 yr old has constipation problems but recently he has been screaming in pain that his stomach hurts and has a high fever. He has no other symptoms of being sick with a cold so I dont know why he has this fever. Is this just due to constipation or is it something more serious?
[|AI|]  Hi.THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY. Read history about your child, constipation and fever, One thing is for sure - constipation can not cause fever;Pain in abdomen with fever can be due to the following reasons in a 3-year-old child The most probable cause of pain in a child -Tummy tonsils-meaning enlargement of the lymph nodes of the abdomen.-Appendicitis- by default this has to be ruled out in every case of pain in -abdomen of a child.-Worms. The best diagnosis is a high resolution ultrasonography. Some blood, urine and stool tests. A therapeutic trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics under the guidance of a pediatrician / Surgeon always helps to solve the problem and to get a diagnosis. Also given is a dose of medicines active against worms in intestine. I hope a consultation with a Pediatric Surgeon, investigations and a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole should solve the problem.
