My daughter, aged 10, has had constant dull stomach pain localized just below her belly button for the past week. The pain intensifies as the day progresses but is least severe when she wakes up. She has not vomited, has a normal appetite, and no fever or changes in bowel movements. What could be causing her pain and what steps should be taken to diagnose and treat it?

I woke up with nausea this morning. I have been taking medication for it, and it is getting better. Should I continue taking the meds I am using? Also, is there any way I can get a doctor's note for work since I talked to an online doctor?

What are the symptoms and potential causes of my extremely swollen left leg, which includes painful knots that have spread up my leg, a new cough, chest pain, and a crater-like hole on the bottom of my foot? I have been using compression socks and taking aspirin, but the symptoms have worsened.

How would colon cancer cause diarrhea, and would it result in more watery, loose, or soft stools? I am experiencing watery stools for the last two days and now soft stools. Additionally, I have mild abdominal pain here and there. How would the abdominal pain be if something was serious? Does small tumors cause change in bowel habits? My stools were usually flat and small pieces for some time now, for which my GI advised taking Metamucil. After taking Metamucil, stools have become bulkier but still kind of flat. I have occasional diarrhea too, probably one bout in a week for the last two weeks. Anything to be concerned about?
