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.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Noted the history niece and understood the concerns. Pain in center of abdomen with white cell count of 19000 and CT scan being negative indicate for severe intestinal infection. Please go for the following: Consult a General Surgeon or a Gastroenterologist as she may need further evaluation like colonoscopy. Tests of stool and urine. A course of an antibiotic will surely help and may need a review ultrasonography or CT scan of abdomen to find the cause and get treated accordingly. If needed get her admitted for further clinical evaluation, examinations repeatedly and proper intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
