Hello,
With the question: "What is the risk of a 6-year-old child with abdominal pain around the navel with vomiting?" The doctor answered as follows:
There are many reasons for abdominal pain around the navel and vomiting but no fever such as: Intussusception, intestinal volvulus, gastroenteritis, abdominal pain caused by worms, irritable bowel syndrome.. Blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasound sometimes do not fully evaluate the baby's pathology.
Your baby often has pain and vomiting like this, so be wary of gastroduodenal disease. Because the data about the baby's illness is too little, the doctor can't give an accurate answer, so you should take your baby to see a pediatrician as soon as possible.
If you still have questions about a 6-year-old child with abdominal pain around the navel accompanied by vomiting, you can take your child to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined. Thank you for your interest and question to Vinmec.
Best regards!
