[quote=Anonymous]OP again, for the people saying this might be strep... wouldn't the strep eventually clear?

The pattern right now is:  DS wakes up every morning, gets dressed, comes into my room and says his tummy hurts.  He crawls into bed with me and we snuggle.

He says it hurts one more time before we get into the car to go to school, and I reassure him that if he's feeling bad, he can always tell a teacher and I'll come get him right away.

Then I generally don't hear much about it for the rest of the day.

Appetite is fine.  No complaints about anything else.  We're on about 2 weeks of this now.

I asked him this morning if he wanted to go to the doctor and he said no.

I've googled strep + tummy pain and wow, those stories that come up are not great to read for a worried mom!  But most worrisome is that those people who had those awful reactions were swapped for Strep but it wasn't in their throats, it was elsewhere.

I talked to my ped advice line nurse earlier in the week and she said that if it's still continuing a week later, the ped's office will schedule a 30 minute consult to go over a plan of action.  [/quote]
