A member asked:

Lower abdomen pain in a 3 year old over the past 4 days. cpuld it be appendix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. checks appendix: Lower abdominal pain can be from many things, even stomach flu. Appendicitis is a concern (usually right lower area; pain usually worsens over time, with fever coming on). If one is constipated for several days, stool can back up and cause discomfort or pain. Sometimes the intestinal lymph nodes are inflamed, called mesenteric adenitis. One's pediatrician or an ER doctor can evaluate.
