What Causes Abdominal Pain Between The Navel And Hip?
My daughter is complaining of abdominal pain starting at her belly button and going to the right toward her hip. It worsened when she went walking after school. It has been hurting for about 4 hours but has lessened to a tolerable pain. What should I do?

Hello
Findings may be due to acute appendicitis.
Acute appendicitis can be very well evaluated by clinical examination.
However,other causes of pain like renal colic,colitis etc should be ruled out.
She need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.Basic investigations are routine hemogram and ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
She need surgical consultation.
Get well soon.
