My five year old has a dark green belly button with no pain. But she has had an every other day fever that reaches 103 but her doctor finds nothing wrong. What kind of specialist should I consult?


Dear Lisa :

can you describe the umbilical area in more detail , is it a bruise , is it palpable , has your daughter had it before . Duration of the fever episodes , any associated symptoms .

Thank you
