What Causes Abdominal Pain Around The Navel And Fever?
My neice has abdominal pain in the center by her belly button. She's had about 101 fever. She has little to no appetite and feels nausea but no vomiting. She was brought to the local ER last night and her white count was 19,000.
An abdominal CT scan was done with contrast but the report was negative for appendicitis or ovarian cyst.
She is still in pain and the symptoms remain the same.
