What Could Cause Frequent Stomach Pains In A 19-year-old That Lasts For Almost 24 Hours?

My grandson is 19. About every 5 weeks he gets stomach pain right in the middle above his belly button. It hurts when he takes deep breaths. Usually lasts 24 hours. Had a low grade temp tonight, was in bed 24 hours. Didnt vomit this time, but has in the past. Feels better to lay on his side in a ball, not on his back.

Hi,

It could be cholecystitis. I suggest he sees a doctor for liver function tests and have an ultrasound of the liver and gall bladder.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen,
General Surgeon
