[|Human|] My 14 year old son started having sporadic pain in the stomach area about 3 days ago. We think it is gas, however he says it is not a stomach ache. It moves back and forth from his bellybutton area to about his hands length distance to the right. He had a fever 2 days ago but it went away its not excruciating but a dull annoyance type pain, he also has not had a bowel movement in 2 days and doesnt really have an appitite. We do not have insurance so we can not just go to a Dr it would be an ER but only if its the only option. Could it be costipation?
[|AI|]  Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The history and site of pain needs you to take him to the ER to rule out any chances of his appendix being inflamed and this could be known only by a clinical examination and related investigations. Also instruct him not to eat from outside if he does as that could bring in some intestinal infection in him as well. 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.
