What Causes Abdominal Pain With Low Appetite?

my 6 yrs. old girl have been complaining about stomache for about 4 days ago and today she has a low grade fever of 99.5. She also has low appetite and wants to lay in bed as soon as she comes from school. I've been given to her pepto bismol. How many more days should I wait to take her to a doctor. She is begging me to take her to the doctor. What should I do?

Hi..If the child herself is feeling uncomfortable and insisting on showing to the doctor then you should not neglect it as the intensity of the pain can be severe. Till that time you should maintain adequate fluid balance by giving ORS.
