What should I do if the boy hurts when he presses his hand next to his hip bone?

Patient's question:

This morning, the child said that pressing the cartilage above the little chicken below the navel hurts. It doesn't hurt when not pressed. It hurts on one side. Walking doesn't hurt. Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. What kind of assistance is needed: What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: Based on your description, it's important to consider whether the child may have an inguinal hernia, as well as to check for appendicitis. It could also be related to intestinal cramps, which are caused by intermittent, intense contractions of the smooth muscles in the intestinal wall, leading to episodic abdominal pain. It's necessary to identify the underlying cause and address it accordingly. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, use appropriate antispasmodic and pain-relieving medications, and pay attention to diet, avoiding unclean food, as well as foods that are difficult to digest or spicy.
