What Causes Stomach Ache And Vomiting After An Insect Bite?
Hello, My 11 year old son was bite by an insect today while playing basketball. He has a red colored bruise and a little bit of swelling. He said that the area hurts. About 2 hours after the bite, he complained that his stomach hurt and he vomited. He does not have a fever. Should I take him to the emergency room or is it safe to assume that the bite and the stomach pain/vomiting are unrelated?

What Causes Stomach Ache And Vomiting After An Insect Bite?
Hi, Abdomen pain is secondary to insect bite induced irritation of nerve endings. Vomiting may or may not be part of this instance. A single episode of vomit can be a case of further observation. If persistent or increasing pain with vomit, you may proceed to ER as well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
