My 10 year old daughter started having pains in her stomach on Saturday. Later that night she threw up 4 times. The vomiting finally stopped around 4am sunday morning. She has not had any diarrhea at all. On Sunday she ate soup and drank some water and ginger ale. She seemed better, but got a low grade fever. I gave her some motrin. This did help. Fever is back at low grade. She seemed to be getting better but now at 1am this morning she woke me up with sharp pains in her lower abdomen. She then vomited. SHe is finally asleep and doesn t appear to be in pain. Could this be her appendix?
Hi, From symptoms it seems to be having acute appendicitis. If there was similar type of pain and vomiting in the past and pain is on her right lower abdomen between umbilicus and hip bone, appendicitis is likely. But with clinical examination it gives correct clue about the condition. Consult your doctor when pain is there and get examined. Ok and take care.
