6 year olds: do not complain about abdominal pain without a reason and appendicitis is a bit RARE in very young children...Intermittent VOLVULUS ("twisting") of the small intestine is a definite possibility! DR IS CORRECT....needs attention! Hope this helps.. Dr Z

Get a 2nd opinion: Whereas the recurrence of fever and abdominal pain deserves attention and may or not involve the appendix, out nerves further evaluation. If you have no rapport with the diagnosing MD, see another.
