My daughter's tummy started hurting today, specifically the lower part – she was pointing to her pubic bone area. At first, we thought she had food poisoning from the yogurt she ate this morning, but then her temperature spiked to 38°C (100.4°F), and we rushed to the hospital. We waited there for three hours, and her fever didn't even go down. The surgeon examined her, took a look, collected two vials of blood and a urine sample. The blood work showed nothing alarming, but he didn't like the urine results and sent us to the children's hospital. There, they also couldn't tell us much, saying we need to re-test the urine in the morning. They want her to be admitted to the hospital, but they won't do anything for her at night; she needs an ultrasound, and as you can imagine, they don't do those at night anywhere. Tomorrow, if there's an opening, I'm just shocked, I'm in such a panic. It's one thing if it's a bladder infection, but what if it's appendicitis? What if the surgeon missed something? I can't sleep.
Может, кто-нибудь подскажет фирму по своему опыту? Не больше 50к.

How did you collect the urine sample? And what didn't they like about it?

Olga My surgeon always told me, if the baby can jump, it's not appendicitis. Also, did they check her gynecologically? She's 9, her first period could be starting, and she might be experiencing PMS.

Olga The urine was collected urgently at the hospital, so it wasn't properly cleaned, and they said the white blood cell count was high.

Olga Could there be discharge from the birth canal? Are there any bacteria?

Olga It's not a given, I could have run with my inflamed appendix and it wouldn't have hurt.

She feels her bladder when she walks, or at least that's how she describes it.
They didn't say anything about her reproductive organs at all.

Olga Although the temperature wouldn't have risen then. Anyway, don't stress yourself out ahead of time. I understand you stayed in the hospital?

Olga Maybe she still has green snot, everything points to it, I'm more worried about appendicitis, and they just can't do an ultrasound at night.

Olga They attribute the fever to either a cold or a urinary tract infection.

Olga You should go to sleep too. Morning will bring better clarity. A child with appendicitis won't sleep peacefully.

Olga Thanks, I'll try. I don't have much sleep left.

So the surgeon says, 'I don't see any acute condition here,' and the pediatrician says, 'What if he's wrong?' It's crazy. There are some blood abnormalities, but not terrible.

Appendicitis isn't just a slight deviation; it indicates actual inflammation.

That's why they recommended you stay in the hospital, so you can be monitored. They'll examine you quickly there. It could be your kidneys, a gynecological issue, or lymphadenitis...

It varies. A friend of mine was admitted with suspected appendicitis. Her pain wasn't in the usual spot; it was in her upper right abdomen. Her blood work was normal, but they kept her for observation, taking blood samples several times a day. It wasn't until just before peritonitis set in that her results changed, and she had an emergency surgery.

By all accounts, it sounds like a bladder infection. Does it hurt when she pees?

Most likely a urinary tract infection. Wishing your daughter good health!
