What medicine should a child take for stomach pain and fever?

1. If a child's abdominal pain and fever are caused by improper diet or gastrointestinal dysfunction, symptoms can be improved by adjusting the diet and taking oral medications that strengthen the spleen and promote digestion. 2. If a child's abdominal pain and fever are related to intestinal infection, such as acute gastroenteritis or acute mesenteric lymphadenitis, antibiotics may be needed to eliminate the inflammation. 3. In some children, abdominal pain and fever may be associated with surgical gastrointestinal conditions, such as acute appendicitis or intestinal obstruction. For these cases, early surgical intervention may be required once a definitive diagnosis is made.
