Hi,
The sever pain your husband is having in the belly button might be related to possible intestinal problems. Further investigations are necessary to be carried out in order to determine the right diagnosis:
- abdominal ultrasound
- stool culture
- barium study
- ct-scan of abdomen (if needed).
Depending on the physical examination and test results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
