Is It A Gall Bladder Problem Having Pain In The Upper Right Side Of Stomach Causing Acid Reflux And Nausea?
My daughter is 13 and for the past 6 days has had severe pain in the upper right quadrant. It was so bad Sunday night I took her to the emergency room thinking she was having heart trouble. She has been constipated for several months and is on myralax to help it. She can barely eat or drink due to the pain and it is getting to where it even hurts her to breath. The pain comes and goes, and it last any where from 30 mins to 3 hours. They say she has acid reflux but I have that and I have never felt like she does. She woke up this morning in pain and nauseous, and has been out of school for the past 2 days. Does she have a gallbladder problem?

Hi
Your daughter is too young to have gallbladder problem but to be sure you need to do abdominal ultrasound and blood work.
her symptoms may be related with IBS or Acid reflux.
but she needs exams like upper endoscopy to rule out gastric problems.
Wishing her fast recovery
