Asked by Male, 7 · 22 days ago

Since his initial tests are normal, his symptoms?especially relief from a knee-chest position?could point to conditions like abdominal migraines, early-stage bowel issues, or functional abdominal pain. I recommend consulting a pediatric gastroenterologist. They may suggest an abdominal X-ray, a repeat ultrasound during an active pain episode, or tracking dietary triggers. Please seek immediate emergency care if he develops a high fever, persistent vomiting, or blood in his stool.
