Suggest remedy for stomach pain after a fall
Patient: My 10 year old daughter was climbing on a wooden fence today when the middle rail that she was standing on fell. She landed on the top rail on her upper abdomen/lower ribs. She also had on her book bag that added an extra 25 lbs. She fell to the ground and laid on there for about 15 min in pain but still breathing normal. All afternoon she has held her stomach in pain, but still eats and breathes normal. I m sure she will be sore but wanted to know are there any symptoms I should be on the look out for? Thank you! Doctor: Hello. I just read through your question.The pain should improve a little bit everyday. If you see that the pain is not getting better day by day, you should consult your doctor. Additionally, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or blood in the stool, would all be reasons to seek medical help.
