Tummy ache - what medicine would help?

[pabla]

My dd (age 8) has some sort of a bug at the moment - started with nausea and headaches, now has a high temperature and tummy ache which comes and goes. I have been giving her Calpol but is there anything else which would help the tumy ache?

If she isnt dairy intolerant sometimes a milk drink like milo can help, also maybe quickeze (not sure if they are available outside nz but basically just a dissolving tablet of antiacid, hot water bottle or a warm bath might also help. Hope she feels better soon.

do you think you should go to gp?

Thanks ym, I'll try some of those tips.

hmm sorry only try hot water bottle once temperature is under control as dont want to worsen that at all,

Don't think going to the gp would be much use - I've heard there is a bug going around so I'm assuming it is that - I'm pretty sure it's not her appendix. Her temperature was a bit high last night though - 104 - but it came down after I gave her calpol and sponged her down.
