Quick Tips
Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach. Give your child a diet that is rich in fiber and low in fermentable sugars. Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas. Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing. In children less than 2 months of age, do not give Megaspas Oral Drops without ruling out the reasons that might be making your child cry. Give Megaspas Oral Drops only if your child shows actual signs of abdominal discomfort or pain after consulting your child’s doctor. Children may experience abdominal pain due to migraines. The other associated symptoms can be a headache, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, and pallor. Since Megaspas Oral Drops is strictly for abdominal pain, rule out such types of pain before giving this medicine.
