Is Pain In Left Side With Fever In A Child Serious?

My 6 year old daughter woke up with left side pain. This afternoon she had a nap and woke up with a fever and pain on her left side and back and abdomen. Her mother has just taken her to the doc. I am worried and wondering how serious this could actually be.

Thanks for contacting HCM

You are concerned about your daughter who woke from sleep with a fever and left back and abdominal pain. This sounds like she has a urinary tract infection and she needs to be seen right away. I agree with her being taken immediately to her doctor. This condition is easily treated with antibiotics but may require hospitalization if serious.
