A member asked:

My nine year old son is having severe pain in his left, lower abdomen. what will help alleviate this? he has had a recent bm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal pain: Although he has had a recent bm, has he been constipated in the past? Is he also urinating frequently? Is the site of pain tender to deep pressure? Did the pain start from the upper abdomen and then settled in the left side? If he jumps, does the pain get worse?If the answer to first 2 questions is yes, he is constipated. If you answered yes to the next 3, you should bring him to his doctor soon.
