Yes: Abdominal pain for 2 days starting near the belly button with low grade fever is concerning for appendicitis. Please bring him to get checked, i would advise going somewhere a surgeon is available.

Go to ER ASAP: An 11-yr old boy with lower abdominal pain has "appendicitis until proven otherwise". Please go to an emergency room as soon as you get this message (and hold off on giving him anything to eat or drink just in case he needs surgery).
