What Causes Lower Left Abdominal Pain In A Child?
Question: My sons is 14 and woke up with severe pain in his lower left stomach.
Brief Answer:
Please take him to the nearest emergency room and do not feed him now
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Please take him to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Do not give him anything to eat or drink now.
The possibilities -
1. Very initial stage of acute appendicitis (the pain will later shift over the right side)
2. Renal colic - may be a kidney stone (all the more probable if there is a family history)
3. Acute colitis or acute bacillary dysentery (most commonly associated with food poisoning).
Please get back to me of further proceedings.
