Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Sharp abdominal pain around and below your belly button associated with being nauseous and no appetite are indicating a possible bowel infection:
- viral
- appendicitis (early stage)

I advise to have a few more tests done :
- abdominal ultrasound
- complete blood work
- urine analysis

in order to determine the right diagnosis and specific treatment.

Meanwhile, I advise to:
- take more fluids (water, soups, tea, juice)
- take buscopan or papaverin to ease the pain (you need to see a doctor to take a prescription for that). If you cannot see a doctor, can take mephenamic acid
- take otc o.r.s.

Wish fast recovery!
