DD who's 11 has had tummy ache since Monday eve. Thought it was period pains (she has horrible ones bless her) but she was sick Tues morning twice.
Thought it was a bug so kept her off 48 hrs etc. No diarrhoea or any other sickness.
Last night her pain increased, it's near belly button and radiates to right lower side Shock Abdomen tender upon pressure and she felt quite warm.
She's been off food for days which is not like her at all and not had a poo for 2 days.

So, rang 111 last night. Sent her and DH to OOH where GP palpates abdo, tests urine and does obs.

Diagnoses bowel pain and gives her Buscopan and says to give it 24/48 hrs to let it work.

She's still sore this morning and not at school.

Actually, reading what I've written, I've come to the decision that I am going to take her today. Very worried it's appendicitis.

DD2 had something very similar last year. was in A&E twice in a week. Eventually, after the second occasion, they discovered she had a severe virus and was given some drugs for it. I hope they find something for your poor DD soon.

Think it's a weird virus (her DB's started with a temp now) and she's coming home!!! SmileGrinGrin

Thank you all for the handholding and advice Flowers
