My 8.5 year old son is suffering from stomach ache, chest pain and headache along with constipation since last 12 days. He has severe gas problem as well. He didn't pass motion for nearly four days even after laxatives. Then we had to insert suppository after which was relieved. Later also we gave him laxatives on doctor's advice but no relief. He was given albendazole, Mox and antacids but no relief. He has bouts of stomach ache and chest pain. His ultrasound and stomach x-ray and CBC are normal. Please help.
