5 year old active child with Enlarged abdomen presenting to clinic for uri symptoms. I am wondering the cause of such protuberant abdomen in child, presuming it is not physiologic or genetic in this population. Whats your diagnosis.
Some of the main causes Include Worm infestations such as Ascariasis Exaggerated physiological lumbar lardosis NEPHROTIC SYNDROME Anaemia hypoproteinaemia Cirrhosis of liver Huge hepatosplenomegaly HIRSCHPRUNGS Disease Congenital hypothyroidism. Gaseous distension of abdomen @ Intestinal obstruction Paralytic ileus. Impacted faeces Wilm's tumour. Etc detailed investigations are needed to come to diagnosis at the same time detailed history and clinical findings are needed to come to diagnosis. Treatment depends upon diagnosis
Ascitis with umbilical hernia. Let common causes be investigated first - Anaemia with hypoproteinemia - Nephrotic syndrome - wilm"s tumour - A big mesentric cyst - kwashiorkor
ABDOMEN IS DISTENDED UMBILLICAL HERNIA + USG ABDOMEN TO EXCLUDE ASCITES
बच्चा कमजोर हो गया है इस की महानारायण तैल की मालिश करें और फिर उसके पाचन शक्ति बढ़ाने की चिकित्सा शुरू करें। रोगी की अम्लाकस के लिए एक सिक्का लेकर उसे कपड़े में लपेटकर बच्चे की अम्लाइकस के ऊपर टेप बांध दें एक माह में ठीक हो जाता है पिछले 40 वर्ष से प्रयोग कर रहा हूं
