My grandson woke up suddenly at 4am with acute pain in the left lower quadrant of his stomach. At first he couldn t even straighten his legs in the bed or get up but eventually he was able to. He fell asleepr about an hour and is up complaining of the same thing again. he s having trouble standing straight. should I go to the emergency room?
Hi. Obviously you should take him to the Emergency room. The causes can be Left ureteric impacted stone or colitis or sigmoid volumes or simply an initiation of gastroenteritis. Go to ER Get ultrasonography, blood and urine examination done. Standing X-ray abdomen also helps to see any intestinal Obstruction.
