Help! My 2 yr old has a tummy ache!?


My 2 yr old has been complaining that her tummy hurts. I've already given her a ginger/fennel soother type medicine. What else could be wrong? What should I do? <please rush>

Answers:
Peppermint water. Put half of a starlight mint (you know, the red & white striped ones) in a sippy cup of water. It will melt in the water, let her drink it. It will help calm her tummy. If this doesn't help & she doesn't have diarrea or constipation (or even if she does have diarrea) take her to the doctor.

When my son was 2 he was complaining of his tummy hurting all day. Then he went to sleep to wake up 30 minutes later crying cuz it was hurting him still. So I took him to the er. We ended up spending 2 days in the hospital & found out that he had rotavirus. Go with your instincts, if you think it might be more than just a tummy ache take her to the doc, its always better safe than sorry. Hope everything is ok, good luck.
she could be constipated. If you're really worried about it, you could take her to the emergency room to make sure it's nothing serious.
