Pain

My daughter is 10 years old and has been experiencing sharp stabbing pain on and off for last few days, the school nurse evaluated her says it looks like its coming form her sternum, I've given her some asian remedies and it relieved but yet it still comes back. Now its hurting her so much at times that it causes her to throw up and when she does throw up it follows with bleeding nose, What should I do?

I agree with the above, i would have her at an Gastrointestinal doctor immediately. my daughter had this and was vomiting blood and it turned out to be her galbladder, so you never can tell. But leaving these things for later can sometimes cause some severe damage. I wish you and your daughter lots of luck. Keep us posted!

You should seek urgent care for her this could be a number of things but it definitely sounds related to food. With the GI tract it's most likely severe heartburn, but could be something much more serious. At any rate if it hurting enough to cause nasea then vomiting and nose bleeds she really needs to get help to find the cause. I wish you and your daughter the best!!
