DS2(4) has been complaining of tummy ache on and off since about 6pm.
It seems to come and go and he says his tummy hurts when I touch it.
Have sat him on the toilet a few times - but he won't/can't go.
It seemed to be better when he went to bed at 7pm (with a hot water bottle) but he's just woken up now crying - saying it hurts again.
I've given him some Calpol - I'm not sure if thats the right thing to do, but I remember DS1 screaming with pain from a tummy ache a few years ago, when I rang NHS direct the nurse said try Calpol and it worked.
He's also just eaten a biscuit - which I took as a good sign.
But my immediate thought is could it be appendicitis? - I am particularly paranoid/anxious about everything at the moment as I suffered a late miscarriage 5 weeks ago, and am not reacting the way I normally would.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
