Suggest cure for severe pain in the belly button & nausea
Patient: My 14 year old son has had deep pain behind his belly button and intermittent waves of nausea (about a 6 on a 1-10 scale) constantly for a week to the point that he can't run track.X-ray was done yesterday (1/14/11)and shows "nothing".Doc says to go to ER if he gets a fever or begins vomiting.Sounds like possible appendicitis according to the symptoms I've read online but hate watching him feel bad and have no course of treatment.  Can it be diagnosed (or ruled out) in any other way rather than waiting for it to get worse?  It hasn't worsened or improved in a week's time. Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that he might be having acute gastro-intestinal infection giving this problem.In my opinion he requires one course of Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine for 3 days.Give antispasmodic medicine like Meftal spas or Cyclopam for pain.Give him light diet.Ok and take care.
