How To Treat Stomach Pain,nausea In A 5 Years Old Child?

My 5 year old son has had stomach pain(belly button area), nausea vomiting and headache(on &off) for 3 days. Taken to emerg and WBC is 12.8. abdominal x-ray normal but can't do ultrasound until tomorrow morning as they don't have techs on the week-end. Should we be considering something else other than appendicitis.

Hi....if the kid is not acutely ill, then other than appendicitis we need to consider, mesenteric adenitis and other abdominal pain symptomatology like GERD or gastritis.
