Does Fever in Children Always Cause Abdominal Pain?

Question

Does a fever in children always cause abdominal pain due to organ infection?

Answer

Children with fever may experience abdominal pain whether or not they have abdominal organ infections. Some abdominal infections like appendicitis and peritonitis can indeed cause abdominal pain, but even common colds or abdominal coldness (without infection) can lead to abdominal pain.
