Sharp Pain Below Belly Button, Increasing Pain While Walking, Bruise, Diarrhea. Virus Infection?
My 15 year old daughter has constant sharp pain a out 2 inches below her belly button. She's getting a bruise in the area that hurts- she has diarreah and has been throwing up. She is not running. A fever. She said when she walks it increases the pain. She hasn't been injured at all. She also says that she feels gurgling then really bad pain. Could this be a virus, because there is one going around this area with similar symptoms.
Thank you for your time.
