I am a mother of an 11 year old girl who was taken to ER per suggestion of pediatrician. She had severe right sided pain for past 24 And after several dosage of the old pain just wouldn t stop. They did blood and urine labs witch were all fine. However a CT scan revealed a trace of free fluid in her pelvis . ER Doctor ref us to surgeon while pediatrician ref us to obgyn Doctor. A ultrasound has been ordered I know that this is common in women during menstrual cycle but my daughter has not started hers at this time. She continues.to suffer with pain and discomfort even with pain meds. Do you have some suggestions?
At this age, severe pain on the right side can be acute appendicitis or appendicular perforation. Ultrasound abdomen will help to rule out these conditions. Menstrual condition can also lead to such attack, but they are controlled by NSAIDs.I suggest get the ultrasound done asap and treat the cause if any. Till that time, admit the child in a hospital if the pain is unbearable.
