What Is The Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain In A Child?
i took my 6 yr old to the ER tonight, because of lower left front side abdominal pain. They did an xray and a urine and a strep test. They said all the test came back normal. Is her apendix still a possibility even though she isnt screaming in pain. It started today around 12 and has been there ever since. She had a 101.1 fever today and now she is at 97.4

Hi....by what you say I feel that acute appendicitis is the first possibility. I suggest you get an ultrasound done and consult a pediatric surgeon please.
