What Causes Frequent Vomiting And Abdominal Pain?

my grandson started complaining of stomach discomfort yesterday. Last night he vomited. He vomited again this morning and I gave him sips of water which he would vomit up after a while. This happened four times today. Flu was going around at his school so we thought it was that. He had a slight fever this afternoon 100.5. Recently he complained of pain in his abdomen. My daughter is thinking it may be his appendix.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First, I wish to know your grandchild's age. When you say "flu", do you mean influenza. Because influenza usually presents with respiratory symptoms.

In appendicitis, the belly pain frequently begins around the navel and within a few hours moves to the bottom right side of the belly. It certainly is associated with vomiting.

Are you giving him any medicine? When was the last time he vomited?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
