What Causes Severe Pain While Walking In 20 Month Old Kid?
My 20 month son has been in pain and stopped walking for 3 weeks. I think now that its his tummy (his lower right side). He is on pain killers, has had scans of his hip and x-rays of his leg as well as blood tests. All of these tests came back normal. They have sent him to a foot specialist. I am concerned they need to look in the right place. Could it be appendacitis? a few days before this started he swallowed a couple of cherry stones. it is also perhaps worthwhile mentioning that for a couple of months before this, he walked a bit lopsided.

appendicitis is unlikely for your kid,, better do a abdominal ultrasound scan, and do a complete hemogram. pain abdomen in 2 to 5 years children is mostly due to non organic cause which will subside by antispasmodic drugs.. if pain still persists, consult your pediatrician for opnion.
