Does the child's navel always hurt below?

Patient's question:

The child is 18 years old. Because they don't eat much, they are very thin. This situation has lasted for two months. It hurts a few times and then gets better, so they never paid much attention to it. They found out last week that they vomited during lunch at school and had stomach pain. They were taken home and seen by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. At that time, her stomach was in severe pain in intermittent waves. The practitioner said her intestines were not in good condition and prescribed some herbs to regulate her intestines. For the days she took the medicine, she didn't have any stomach pain. But after finishing the traditional Chinese medicine, she said her stomach hurt again at night, right below the navel, about the width of one finger. In the past, when she had a fever, her stomach also hurt. They went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by the fever, so they didn't pay much attention, thinking it would get better once the fever subsided. They are asking the doctor what is going on.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the cause of children's abdominal pain is many, such as fever, enteritis, indigestion, parasitic infection, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination.
