I would love for my son to be analyzed for many reasons that have to with this situation. He started with a pain on his right side a little before last summer, began to not wanting to eat much, afterwards began to eat a little better but little by little overtime his pain began to progress and spread, at this point his pain is more intense and have spread, sometimes he just feels full or the pain just makes him not want to eat much, now experiencing nausea, he is having pain all throught his days and weekends and as he sleeps, he has a history, he is 7, he also has family history of lung problems along with other family history, he is hispanic, on thinner side 45pds, and result stated he have fatty liver but i feel hopeless with no help on comforting him other than a medicine he was prescribed for pain, miralax, exlax, and even if he is flat tummy not constipated he is still in lots of pain...ive gotten quite a few call from school and notes and i just cant help but to wonder of the fatty liver causing him the pain, nausea, discomfort, fullness feeling, and progressing pain that makes him not want to eat.
