What Causes Pain Around The Navel?
My 6 year old was complaining of his stomach hurting on his belly button. I asked him what kind of pain and he said he didn t know. As the night has gone on he is saying that it feels like a stabbing pain on both sides of his stomach, but pointed to his lower right abdomen. He will say it really hurts, and then it gets better and only hurts a little, then sharp pain again. Should I be concerned?
