A member asked:
How can you tell when a 4 year old child has the stomach flu or the dreaded appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You cannot: If you suspect that a 4 yr old may have appendicitis they should be examined by a doctor. If they are having abdominal pain, the abdomen is tender, they are vomiting, cannot lie still, then these are suggestive symptoms that an exam would be beneficial.
