What Causes Vomiting And Severe Pain Near Belly Button?
My 4 year old daughter has had stomach pains that are making her roll on the floor moaning. THey are at her belly button and she has had it now for over 48 hrs. The problem is....she seemed fine for the last 8 hours and now it is back again. I was thinking it was a flu virus as she has been vomitting, no bowel movements though. She said she had one yesterday morning. Should I be going to emerg?

Hi... by what you say I feel that these are the possibilities in your kid -
1. Stomach flu or it might be the starting stage of watery diarrhoea which could most probably be viral in origin. If that is the case - then you need to give her oral rehydration solution along with zinc supplements.
2. If there has been any family history of kidney or gall stones this is also a possibility.
Whatever it is, as she is rolling over in pain I suggest that you take her to the nearest Emergency Room and get her evaluated by physician or pediatrician.
