Hi.
Gone through the history you have provided .
It is possible to get such a finding due to trauma to the left side inadvertently or knowingly.
Another possible reason can be typhoid or malaria or anemia and so on.
You need to undergo all the relevant blood tests for co-relation of the symptoms with the signs the Doctors must have found.
A possibility of acute pancreatitis is also there . Serum amylase and lipase levels can be done to confirm .
Rush Her to the ER and get her admitted.
