My 2.5 yo DD is constantly complaining "I have a bad tummy". It started a few weeks ago; she kept saying she had a bad tummy which culminated when she was sent home from nursery with a temp of 39.
Took her to the doctors and they said it was either a respiratory infection (??) or gastroenteritis. She was having diarrhoea and really really stinky farts. I mean, smelling like something had DIED. It was horrific. She no longer has the diarrhoea now but still complains of a bad tummy, and her belly seems very distended. It seems to come and go - one minute she'll be saying "tummy all better" and then the next minute it's "bad tummy" again. I think some of it at least is for attention, but it's not all made up as she is genuinely in pain. Her temperature is also up and down.
Anyone have any ideas? We're taking her back to the docs on Tuesday anyway but just wondering if this is merely a long-lasting virus or something else?
