My 10 year old daughter is complaint that her tummy hurts. When I look her tummy under her belly button is slightly swollen and firm to the touch. Should I take her to the doctor? Her diet hasn t changed recently, nor has she hurt herself in that area
The differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children varies with age, gender, genetic predisposition, nutritional exposure and many environmental factors. The causes are many including - constipation / acid peptic disorders / inflammatory bowel disorders / irritable bowel syndrome / worm infestation etc.
I suggest you see your pediatrician or a pediatric gastroenterologist for this.
