Ok, so this is totally outing me for anyone whose already seen this on FB but I'm beyond caring.
Last Monday DD (16) ended up in A&E with what we thought was appendicitis. Severe stomach pain 8/10 that reduced to 7/10 after Endone (oxycodone).
Ultrasound was clear - no problems with appendix, and everything else looked fine. Also not pregnant. Discharged with a diagnosis of early onset gastro.
In the past 11 days she's still had stomach pains at about a 6/10, is vomiting after every meal but keeping fluids down, no diahrea but has a low grade fever and feels sweaty all the time so the gastro diagnosis didn't seem correct.
Saw GP today - she's ordered a chest X-ray to see if it's walking pneumonia (as the pain is now not just across her belly button but up under her ribs) and repeat bloods / urine.
She's not complaining of a cough and says it doesn't hurt to breathe so it doesn't look like it's pneumonia either.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Obviously I'm not after a internet diagnosis but we're so confused and the GP didn't seem to really have any firm ideas either (not that I blame her as it's all so weird).
