tummy ache with fever RE: online health advice - health and illhealth (holly gibb)

constipation is a chronic problem in school children, formula feds and who have rich milk intake and low calcium intake.
easiest way to improve is
1. wash of stacked piles of stools by repeated bowel wash/ enema not more than 3 a week under medical supervision till tummy distenstion goes off.
2. improve water intake not to dilute stools but more to prevent bowel tendency to retain water sensing some lack of water in body. water intake may be increased to 1.5 times of prior intake, again under medical supervision.
3. avoid constipating diet like milk, pomegrande and like others, and thos e containing high proteins
4.add softening diet like ripe bananas, rice, stool softenere
5. rest all medicines dont do much help in chronic constipations.
6. its always prudent to rule out any bowel obstruction by performing a sonography or barium meal as your doctor may suggest.

Above management is true for dietary constipation, improving activity and exercises add to the good mobility of bowel.

=====
presence of fever or high fever with abdomen pain can be infection like typhoid fever, hepatitis or urinary infection. These may need some tests to diagnose. and so the treatment may differ. such cases can turn into emergencies so its prudent to be under constant medical supervision in an hospital if symptoms are really that severe.

exactly where does it pain?
right side or left side of tummy?
if its on the left side it cantbe appendix.

is the swelling close to his penis and pain in scrotum or testes area?
if not, it cannot be hernia.

is the pain in center?
if yes, it can be acidity.

is the pain at only one place and not moving?
if yes, it can be constipation.

does the pain move from back to front or side to side?
then its more like stone or more like bowel colics.

all of them can have vomiting. so please be clear in explaining character and position of pain so i can guide you further.
