Pulling Sensation In Belly Button, Excessive Burping And Sleeping. Cause Of Worry?

my husband has been experiencing pain in his belly button more like a pulling sensation, he has been sleeping way more than normal and is burping a lot. He went to first med. clinic and they told him they didn t feel anything and to go to the emergency room. But we are hesitant because of the high fee. any suggestions?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Your husband might be having intestinal parasitism. Get him examined for anemia and take anti parasite medication like albendazole or mebendazole. You can also associate an antispasmodic medication or myorelexant medication for symptomatic treatment.

Best wishes
