A member asked:
How long a spleen pain lasts at a time? is there any medication b4 start the pain? she is 2 years with beta thalassemia intermedia. hbn is 8.6 now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
try Ibuprofen: I am assuming that her splenic pain is due to splenic sequestration. Blood may suddenly pool in the spleen. It causes splenic capsule to stretch out causing pain, but also causing her hemoglobin to drop, and may make her very sick. Mild splenic sequestration is tolerable, and for that, one could give Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but for severe pain, i would recommend a visit to an emergency room.
