Kid facing pain in feet, fingers tummy
My 4.5 years old kid has been diagnosed with adhd by the age of 2 and has been allergic to food like curd and banana (mild asthmatic)
He has complained about feet pain in both legs : except for the big toe rest all the fingers since last 1 year
Recently he complained about the pain in stomach on and off 3-4 times in a week
Recently, occasional pain over hand fingers (except thumbs rest all fingers) in both the hands
We have met orthopaedics, xray is fine . Not getting leads. Is everything connected or different issues? For stomach dr gave gastric medication but not so effective. Really very stressed out as there are days when he couldn't sleep the entire night out of pain either on tummy or feet. Tried analysing the food for aches but couldn't find any. Tried to change shoes for feet but not any help

there are multiple causes of limb pain during this age because it can be normal due to growth pain.

then you have to meet the doctor to find the cause of abdominal pain because it can be either due to gas or due to worms or some other abdominal pathology or gastroenteritis, constipation, digestive issues.
