- Abstract:
The article provides information about belly pain in girls. The author inferred that a good history is the key to an accurate diagnosis because the physical examination could sometimes mislead the doctor. The author, who is a doctor, cited the case of a 7-year-old girl who complained of abdominal pain and vomiting due to pancreatitis with viral origin. He stressed that the only treatment of pancreatitis associated with infections include bowel rest, intravenous hydration, and pain relievers.
