Hello, My my son is 13. He has had an upset stomach off and on for 3 days now. Getting sick quite a bit a night Then this evening I noticed that there is bruising on his right side over his rib cage. He says repeatedly he never injured himself. So I am worried. Should I consider taking him to the hospital to get him checked out?
HI...spontaneous bruising always warrants clinical evaluation for a bleeding disorder or liver disease. Please take him to his pediatrician. Regards -
