What Is The Reason For Fever With Abdominal Pain?
my 6 yr old has had a fever off and on since Monday with adominal pain he was admitted to hospital Tuesday overnight for observation for appendix, both pediatrician and hospital say it is a viral infection. But I am beginning to worry that it is something worse, he has had a fever with abdominal pain off and on through the day everyday for 5 days now

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I can understand your plight of being a Mother / Parent.
As the patient is admitted for fever and pain in abdomen, the Doctors definitely would have been giving antibiotics and supportive medicines.
This is very true that when sometimes all the investigations are normal, Doctors label this as Viral Fever.
Have some patience. He will be fine soon.
Request the Doctors to conduct whatever tests are required.
Give Paracetamol round the clock.
