Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause For Abdominal Pain And Shoulder Pain When On Acetaminophen?
My 5 yr old began complaining about abdominal pain along with front Right shoulder pain about 5 hours ago. Pain did not lessen with any position change. I gave her acetaminophen for shoulder pain and she went to sleep; she awoke recently, complaining of same symptoms. She put her hand over belly button to show me area of belly that hurts, and covered top front area of shoulder to show location of shoulder pain. She has since fallen back to sleep. Could this be her appendix?
