What Could Be The Reason For A 8 Year Old Having Sharp Pain In Abdomen Which Increases After Urination?

Hello Doctor, My 8 yr old son came home from school today complaining of a sharp pain in his abdomen that subsides for a couple of hours when he drinks water. He said it is a little sharper when he urinates. I'm more than happy to take him to urgent care but want to cover our bases before making that decision! - Tom

Give him plenty of water to drink.
Get him investigated with complete urine examination and ultrasound abdomen and pelvis after consulting the doctor.
