What Causes Constant Dull Abdominal Pain?
My Grandaughter, Megan, 9 yrs old, had a urinary tract infection last week, at the time she had a high temperature. A course of antibiotics appeared to make her Semi well again. However, today, 9 days on from that episode, she has a very high temperature, no obvious symptoms of urinary tract problems, as she had previously, total loss of appetite and is generally unwell, she has complained of constant dull abdominal pain.

Hi.GO for an urgent investigations: routine blood picture, urea, creatinine , liver function tests/ urine - routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity. Blood culture also.
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Consult Pediatrician / Pediatric Surgeon, on clinical examination he would start an appropriate treatment.
If the fever has recurred and there is a pain in abdomen, I would advise the patient be admitted and given intravenous antibiotics.
