Stomache cramps.?

My 10yr.old son has been complaining of a stomachache no pain just nausea, and has had diarreha for about a week. He has been going to school but today he felt bad and looked pale, no fever. What could it be and what can I give him any suggestions thank? He also is always sneezing in morinings only and sounds always congested and nasaley. Ihave always seem to have these problems with him. Should i take him to see a stomache specialist?

Answer:
You could very well have a couple of things going on here. First, if he's congested usually in the mornings, he might have allergies. His congestion and drainage might have alot to do with his nausea and diarreha. Do you leave the windows open at night? I have 2 that have "seasonal allergies" and if I leave the windows open, no matter what the weather is like, they wake up completely congested. I can take them camping and they're fine. My doctor says it's because the air is flowing freely when you're outdoors.

The second thing you should think about is irritable bowel syndrome. My sister-in-law has it and can cause her severe stomach problems and diarrhea. There are medications and diet restrictions in order to control it.

I would take him to the doctor. If you can't afford a doctor (no insurance, etc), check out the source that I listed. It's a very thorough site and can help you with some "home remedies" for these issues.

Good luck!
it could be anything...from a stomach bug to the flu...take him to a pediatrician.
Could be lactose intolerance. If so, it would explain the stomach pain, diarrhea, and congestion. Avoid dairy for a week and see if this helps. If so, you'll know he's lactose intolerant. Try Lactaid milk. I can't taste the difference.
I'm a bit confused...he has a stomache, but no pain?? hmmm.

Since he doesn't have a fever I wouldn't think this is a virus. If he's been having diarrhea for about a week, then I would take him to the doctor and have him looked at. He may have IBS- irritable bowel syndrome. If he isn't getting any better, ask the doc to refer your son to a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy.
Has he had any concerns or worries about school? My oldest child used to have bad stomachaches and headaches due to worrying about school. She even went home her first day of school (in seventh grade) last year, after she vomited and went to the nurse. Talk to him and take him to see the doctor.
take him to the doctor. sounds like the flu. he needs to be tested for the flu so it can be treated
