A member asked:
My 7 year old son has been experiencing pain around the belly button (5/6 out of 10) and heartburn for some time now-what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: This could be gas, symptoms of a virus, or early appendicitis. These few words without more information and an exam are not specific enough to provide a specific answer. If the kid has trouble walking without pain, you need to take him in now.
