What To Do If Child Is Having Severe Burning Sensation In Abdomen Around Navel?
My 12 yo has started having a severe burning sensation in her abdomen around her navel. A few hours later she started vomiting. in the past 7 hours she has vomited around 11 times and is now vomiting a greenish yellow color. She cannot keep anything down. She really doesn t have a fever. it fluctuates between 98.8 and 99.2. She still has the abdominal pain but says it only hurts when it is touched now. What is wrong with her?

Hi.
This can be a really serious problem like pancreatitis.
The pain is around umbilicus, persistent vomiting, even in a later stage- pain on touching.
She needs to be admitted, given IV fluids, kept under observation, done all blood work, particularly amylase and lipase. Ultrasonography and CT abdomen to confirm or rule out other problems.
