[quote=Anonymous]No, it is not clear.

PP with the 6 year old who had strep with only vague stomach pain for 10 days.

My Husband took him tot he Doctor on day 5 and they could find nothing wrong. Kid kept telling us every day that his tummy hurt. Not bad enough to throw up but it hurt. We talked to his Teacher to see if something was happening at school, there wasn't anything that she could see. We took him back to the Doctor. The Doctor did a more through physical exam, lots of probbing with the hands looking for known issues and found nothing. He ordered a blood panel to look for something. I mentioned that Strep was running around DS school so he tested for strep and strep it was.

Both visits checked the throat. There was never a fever. Only the strange, unexplained tummy pain.

It was crazy. Our Doctor did some research while we were there and found that there is a very small percentage of people who present this way with Strep. It was the first time he had seen it and he has been in practice for over 20 years.

The antibiotics cleared the Strep and the tummy pain went away. [/quote]
