my 14 yr old daughter came into my room last night complaining of a stomach ache. It moved from the middle to the lower right side. She stayed home from school and isnt hunched over in pain but its still a dull hurt in the lower right region. It is also hurt to the touch. Should I take her to a doc right away or wait it out?
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. In my opinion, you should take her to the doc at your earliest as the site of the pain points to a possible infection of the appendix (appendicitis), which would have to be dealt with emergently.  The other possibility I could think of was a silent urinary tract infection without any urinary symptoms. However, the differentiation would depend on a personal physical examination, and related investigations like a urine routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test, a CBC, and a possible ultrasound of abdomen if need be. The management would depend on the inference of all of the above. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
