Pedriatric Abdominal Pain

Jennifer Couceyro, Advanced Registered Nurses Practitioner with Baptist Children's Hospital, explains if your child has abdominal pain accompanied by fever, chills, or they are not able to tolerate liquids, those are reasons for seeking immediate attention, and not just your pediatrician, but going to your local emergency department. Other reasons are: pale, sweaty, vomiting for more than 24 hours, refusal to eat or drink, blood in vomit or stool, skin rash with pain, and problems passing urine.
