Our Care

Gastrointestinal & liver diseases

Diarrhea, vomiting, tummy pain and liver problems are some of the most common reasons children see a doctor. Dr Amir Rasheed diagnoses and treats digestive and liver conditions in children, with follow-up until your child is well.

Stomach, intestine & liver conditions

A consultation covers your child’s symptoms, eating and drinking, growth and any recent illness or travel. An examination and, when needed, blood, stool or urine tests help find the cause.

  • Acute and persistent diarrhea and dehydration
  • Vomiting and reflux (GERD)
  • Abdominal pain and constipation
  • Typhoid (enteric fever) and other gut infections
  • Celiac disease
  • Hepatitis A, B, C and E, and jaundice in older children
  • Chronic liver disease, including Wilson disease

Diagnosis & treatment

Laboratory tests are available at the clinic. Tests such as an ultrasound scan may be advised, and the results are explained to you along with the treatment plan.

Treatment may include oral rehydration, the right antibiotic for infections such as typhoid, diet changes, medicines for reflux or constipation, and regular checks for children with long-term liver or bowel conditions. When a child is dehydrated and cannot keep fluids down, IV fluids can be given at the clinic.

Endoscopy, liver biopsy and other procedures are arranged through referral to a pediatric gastroenterology center, with follow-up continuing at the clinic.

Preparing for the visit

A short note of how often your child has had diarrhea or vomiting, what they have eaten and drunk, and when they last passed urine helps the assessment. Bring any previous reports, scans and the medicines your child is taking.

When to go to emergency instead

Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away if your child has green vomit, blood in their vomit or poo, severe tummy pain, signs of severe dehydration such as no urine for many hours, a dry mouth, sunken eyes or unusual sleepiness, or yellow eyes or skin with drowsiness or confusion.
