[|Human|] My 3 year old son has had fever and complains of pain in his belly which is localized to one spot about an inch above his belly button. I will point to other areas and he will say no... Right here and points to same spot again. At times he will cry and say again that his belly hurts. This is the 6th day. Fever has been as high as 102.8 under his arm. I ve been giving him ibuprofen to keep it down and ease him. Without that he lays around. With it he is able to get up and play a little bit. He is not eating. Not even finishing a sucker or Popsicle which is very unusual. He is drinking. He is not doubled over in pain. Just acts miserable and will cry/whine on occasion that it hurts
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. The most probable diagnosis of such a pain in a child of 3 years can be inflamed lymph nodes at the base of mesentery (the curtain-like thing which supports the intestines and gives blood vessels, lymphatics and lymph nodes). I would suggest you to have an ultrasonography as soon as possible to find out the reason so that antibiotic treatment can be started. Continue the Ibuprofen. Get started on an antibiotics there is no relief : go for the tests of Blood, Complete blood picture, ESR, Manitou testX-ray chest blood Tidal and all other tests as may be directed by your Pediatrician or Pediatric Surgeon.
