[|Human|] my son went to the doctors yesterday for a bad stomach ache that he has had for over a week, she listened to his stomach, pushed on it and said it was just gas. she said to give him pepto.  I gave him pepto and about 10 min. after he said he felt worse, now the next morning he still says he feels terrible and his stomach and head hurt.  Something else to try or do I just need to take him to a gastro doctor?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history.Your son has got a pain in abdomen for over a week, the Doctor auscultated and said it was gas. Well, gas alone can not cause pains for more than a week. There has to be a reason for this. I would advise you to take him to the Castro, get the following investigations done: X-ray of the abdomen in a standing position; this is non-expensive investigation which can tell about the air-fluid shadows of intestinal obstruction. The intestinal obstruction will be made severe by taking anything which is aerated. Pesto can increase the problems in a case of an intestinal obstruction. Get other investigations as suggested by Castro- like ultrasonography / CT scan, Enterocolitis and so on. The treatment will depend upon the clinical diagnosis and investigations.
