RUQ Pain: The presence of gallstones and/or sludge within the gallbladder does not necessarily mean you have acute cholycystitis. However, if you are having severe abdominal pain, especially within the right upper quadrant, and you have ANY fever, I would consider evaluation by a doctor, as soon as possible.

Your instinct are right. If you have severe pain seek help now. ER is ok to seek care. Also call the doc that u are seeing. Tell them u are on the way to the ER
