Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
This type of severe pain in left upper quadrant abdomen is seen in peptic ulcers disease, pancreas problems such as pancreatitis, and intestinal problems.
Investigations like erect abdominal X XXXXXXX ultrasound abdomen, CT scan of abdomen, blood investigations for serum lipase and amylase, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy will help to rule out the above conditions.
Physical examination by the doctor will help to narrow down the possibilities and will help to plan for appropriate tests to detect the cause for pain.
Therefore I suggest you to consult the Pediatrician for clinical examination, to review her medical history, and to plan appropriate investigations.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for getting back.
The results you sent are not suggestive of any particular condition which will cause this type of severe pain in left upper quadrant of abdominal pain.
Imaging studies such as ultrasound abdomen will give a clue to the possible cause.
Some times intestinal obstruction (due to postoperative adhesions) will present with colicky abdominal pain, but it is associated with vomitings and distended abdomen.
The other possibilities are gastritis, peptic ulcer, renal stones, and spleen problems.
Rarely porphyria, abdominal migraine will present with pain abdomen.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.
