Tummy pain 6 year old ?

Just asking for advise - 6 year old has had consistent stomach ache for 24hrs - stopping her normal activities. Rest & TLC & calpol seemed to help yesterday.

Temp up to 38 but down with Calpol.

Was pretty close to thinking May need GP last night, but she fell asleep in my bed - she has just woken up with the pain again - first thing she said.

Feels similar to older son's appendix - but she is more vague with location as in sometimes it is the other side of the belly button.

Anyway in same situation would you - head to urgent care now, as it probably is going that way?

Wait and see today -

Wait and start the getting a GP appointment- from 0830 - we ring, GP rings for telephone appointment & then seen in person or dealt with in first call.

Y6 son has first SAT this morning and I need to sort work but just trying to think next steps -

Thank you -

My 6 yo had very bad stomach pain and high temp and it was covid. If you haven't already may be worth testing her?
