5-year-old child says belly hurts badly when she pushes on it, at & below belly button. she is not constipated. what could it be? what signs 2 look 4?

Several things...: Has she had any contacts with illness? Any recent travel? Loose stools? Bloody Stools? Any contact with animals, pets, in particular reptiles? Past history of constipation? Any fever? Is pain intermittent? or is it persistent and worsening? Can she walk? or is she lying very still? These are the first questions we will ask when evaluating her.
