Hello, I understand your concern
When a child has persistent or severe stomach pain and is not sleeping despite medicines, we need to evaluate urgently. This is because some conditions need early treatment.
Next Steps
Most causes of abdominal pain in children are treatable once we find the reason. But because your child cried the whole night and did not improve with medication, it is better to get her examined today. Consult Pediatrician immediately
Give small sips of ORS or water
Avoid heavy meals, milk and junk foods for now
Do not give repeated pain medicines without doctor advice
Do not apply excessive pressure or massage on the tummy
