okay sometimes children do say they have a pain if they dont want to go somewhere its not unusual .So I would take him to the doctor for another examination.
Hes not fakeing his pain.
No swelling.. He loves school he hasnt missed a day except this week its not that and hes gets along fine with his sisters.. Idk he thtew up once.
Is ther any swelling around the area I was thinking possible hernia ..Has he had any fever /nausea at all. Is he happy at school , friends, if he has siblings does he get on well with them?
