(Upper) Right Side of Back Sensitive to Touch, Accompanied w Posted: 02-22-06 14:50pm
MY 11 yr. old son is having moderate pain
in his right side and upper right side of
back. He has not had an injury but it is
very painful to touch him in those areas.
It has sometimes caused him to feel
nauseated when he is in pain due to this
problem. I was just wondering if you can
tell me what might be causing this to
happen.

A doctor will need to know when the
symptoms started and how often the pains
occur in order to diagnose your son. An
abdominal ultrasound will also required to
exclude liver and gall bladder
disturbance. A chest X-ray image might
also be needed, as will standard blood
analyses with liver status. Your son can
visit his pediatrician as soon as possible
to begin these examinations.
