appendicitis in a 4 year old

my 5 year old daughter has had pain never her belly button and on the right side for a week now she has a fever off and on i took her to the doctor to make sure its not her appendix they said it sounds like it but she not screaming and crying she not sleeping well or eating well not a uti

This is causing her ligament to be stretched unnaturally, 24/7. It caused her extreme pain around 4 in the morning a few times (hence the trips to the ER) b/c she sleeps in a fetal position - causing the ligament to be stretched in the same position with no relief for 5 or 6 hrs. Ouch. She started phys therapy - the pain is lessening as she is doing exercises between sessions to get the hips aligned again. This sort of thing is caused by stress.

So i got up about half an hour ago to get my 2 year old breakfast after walking from his room to the kitchen i got a really sharp stabbing pain on my right side that will not go away and seems it may be getting worse im currently 17 weeks along with baby #2 and i never had this problem when i was pregnant with my son. Has anyone ever had this?

For about a year and a half now ive experienced change in bowels, constipation/diarrhea, narrow/thin stools, mucous in stools, black stools (recent..3 days), abdominal pain that comes and goes(left side right under the last rib, pain hasnt been as common as before and is described as a gnawing pain). There is history of colon cancer in my family. For about 5 years i ate very unhealthy hotpockets, snack cakes, soda. I have been drinking water mainly for over 6 months now..

I have always been aware that he is uncomfortable in social situations. He does not like to be in crowds, to be in any type of group or even be in a public place ofany sort. He seems to be unable to handle the sensory overload that I also sense at times. (Ex: sounds, smells, etc) As a young child he was unable to tolerate car rides, going ANYWHERE, etc and I spent many nights helping him to remain calm and cool. He can not seem to tolerate social interactions but in very limited situations.

My relative (82 years old man), had a fever of 39 deg C one night and pain in lower right abdomen, and ultrasound showed his intestines at this part to be swollen and infected (the doc suspected appendicitis, but it was not), and he is currently on antibiotics and panadol right now. He told me that he had pain in his mid-abdomen when young too, not continuing, but on and off. And that he is very tired in the time period around his stroke until now. (start 2008) What could be the problem?

I am so sorry to hear about your 4 year old daughter. In such a small child it is difficult to rule out appendicitis by physical examination alone. An ultrasound of whole abdomen should be done. The symptoms could also be due to amoebiasis (ruled out by stool test), Dengue fever or colitis. Common tests which should be carried out include X-rays of the colon, stool for blood and pus, sigmoidoscopy, and/or colonoscopy, stool and blood cultures.

My 8 year old daughter had blood on the toliet paper after she had a bowel movement earlier. She also has a bulge in her stomach around her belly button and is having some lower abdominal pain. Could she have an appendicitis?

In one girl, a simple oophorectomy was carried out, and, in the fourth child with bilateral dermoids, a bilateral ovarian cystectomy with preservation of tubes and as much ovarian tissue as possible was performed. All four girls have subsequently made satisfactory progress.

my 6 year old is having right side abdominal pain next to his belly button. he has complained he has felt nauseous 2-3 times today, and his appetite isn't as big as it usually is. could it be appendicitis? how long does the pain have to go on before i am sure?

I walked in on my husbands 4 year old nephew touching my 4 year old son today. They told me they were going to the bedroom to play cars so I didn't think of anything, until I went to check on them . My nephew was on top of my son kissing him and touching him in the wrong place's. I asked them what they thought they were doing and my son said he's cousin said it was a game. I sit with them and explained it was not right and don't ever do it again.

You are correct that this is not an acute appendicitis, but there is a possibility that this is a chronic appendicitis. This is almost surely not an ulcer of the rectum as you don't have any of the same symptoms.

I am a 37m year old male with no history of any illness. Nothing has changed in my life to contribute to this condition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Molars which are in the back, kids have for many years and leaving the tooth could cause issues to the permanent teeth that comes in behind it. Also, when a four year old has a rotting tooth, they will begin to address oral hygiene. Some kids are more prone to cavities than others simply due to their genetics. Flossing becomes really critical to get in between those teeth.

she is 4 but her mind is like shes 16. but on the same hand she can act like a 2 year old. when she talks you wouldnt guess shes 4 but part of that might be because ive never treated her like a baby nor talked to her like a baby.

I have a 4 year old boy who is great at home, hardly ever gets into trouble, and is very intelligent. He loves to play, read, and practice writing his letters. He will not mind the teachers at school. we have tried taking all of his toys away and him earning one back with good behavior but it isnt working. What should we do?

i have a four year old that cries all the time. She will cry when told no, later, not now or anything that she doesn't want to hear. She has gotten to a point where she is bossy, sassy and will challenge anything she is asked to do. She does not cry while she is getting her way. How can you help?

So reduction in 4 kg of weight over a period of 2 years is a possibility. I want to know whether a mass could have been detected in the previous CT screening and if so why the report was like chronic appendicitis? What will be symptoms for ileocecal pathology.

I have a question about discipline for my 4 year old stepson. Lately he has been having issues at preschool with hitting, kicking, screaming and pinching. My husband has decided that when behavior like this occurs at school stepson will sit in his bed the entire evening, after dinner of course (usually get home around 5:30 and his normal bedtime is 8:00).

My 4 year old had a chalazion on his left lower lid for almost 4 months took him to ophthalmologist and he did the surgery to remove it about 2 weeks ago, sent him home with the normal eye ointment to do for 7 days 3 times a day. No today his lower lid is still slightly swollen and the chalazion is still very much visible, is this normal or is there something else I should do?

I know this post is REALLY old, but it came up in a search. I am having the same problem you did, Natalie. I've had abdominal pain for a week now and thinking I had appendicitis, went into the emergency room earlier this week, only to have them say I was fine and send me home. The doctor did say I had a "fat" appendix. Anyway, the pain on the right subsided slightly and, starting yesterday, I had the same pain but worse on the left side.

What really has me concerned though is that my blood sed rate came back at 32mm/h which is high. Im only a 20 year old male and this is pretty abnormal. I know sed rates are not specific to any disease, or disorder. But what can this possibly. Im currently living abroad, and I dont know what this can be, can it be a possible amebiasis? What does this pain and these blood test results point towards?
