Case history
My daughter who is 9 has been complaining about stomach ache for about 2 weeks now. Lot of kids and adults have been reporting sick for a month now. The general symptoms are a) throat ache b) cold symptoms c) fever d) stomach ache.
About a week into the complaining she came down with a slight fever one night. I gave some motrin and she is fine by the next morning. But the lingering stomach ache is not going away. She also has a running nose as well.
The stomach ache seem to respond to stress. for example going to school.
