Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
It is unlikely that this is a case of appendicitis. However, this could be a small hernia in the belly button. In either case, it is important to consult with your pediatrician immediately. If either of these problems go untreated, it can have a difficult long term affect.
