What Causes Nausea, Vomiting And Abdominal Pain?
Question: Hello, my 15 y/o daughter has been having episodic N/V and moderate abdominal pain, LLQ & RLQ for the past 5 days. No fever or diarrhea. Just when I think she is better the pain comes back, followed by nausea & vomiting. Last night was the worst it has been all week & after she vomited it immediately relieved the abdominal pain.
Brief Answer:
Abdominal Pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
This could easily be caused by a stomach virus. The history you describe is consistent with those characteristics. Just when we think it's resolving, another episode occurs.
The most important thing during these illnesses is hydration. Typically, as long as the patient remains reasonably well hydrated, the illness ultimately passes without and continuing effects.
However, when the symptoms have persisted for this long, I usually like to examine the patient, just to make sure. The diagnosis almost always remains "stomach virus", but it's always safe to check.
