Please consider pausing Meftal (mefenamic acid), as this type of pain reliever can sometimes irritate the stomach lining and worsen her upper stomach pain. Lanzol (lansoprazole) helps reduce stomach acid, but it will not relieve her constipation. Burning, painful constipation requires a pediatric-approved treatment rather than pain medicines. Since her symptoms are not improving, please consult her pediatrician promptly. They can safely evaluate her stomach and prescribe a gentle, child-safe laxative to help her pass stool comfortably. Encourage her to drink plenty of water in the meantime.

What should I do if my 6-year-old daughter has upper stomach pain and painful, burning constipation that is not getting better with Lanzol and Meftal?
