My son is in the hosp with severe abdominal pain. He is eight yrs old. His pain is being treated with morphine 2mg iv every 4 hrs prn as needed. They are saying it is a stomach virus, but he is hurting in his legs, chest and bilateral lower stomach. he is running a temp of 103. he is yelling out when pain starts until morphine kicks in.
Hi. Thanks for your query. The commonest causes for severe pain in abdomen in a child of 8 years old are to be ruled out by investigations
