HelloMy 7 year old little boy has had a stomach ache today, no fever, no other symptoms on and off all day. Then this evening before bed the pain was lower and when my husband felt his tummy there was a lump on the right side of his belly button. It looks slightly raised but really only noticeable by feeling it. When my husband touched this area he said it hurt. He went very cold this afternoon and fell asleep in bed which is very unheard of for him. He has eaten ok today although didnt want to eat as much as normal. I was wondering what this could be as I live in a rural area and cant use car due to problems with it so cant get to the doctors tomorrow. I am concerned as there is a lump and was wondering if I should be worried or get him checked out.
Hi, That can be an interruption of bowels. You need to show him to a surgeon preferably and get an ultrasound of his abdomen done to help in a diagnosis. Watch for red stools, and if they are, there show in an emergency room. Regards
