Apendicitis GO TO ER: If you have pain and a fever you get to the emergency room as soon as you can. Please ask your mom or dad to get you some help. If you are hurting this much means you need an expert to examine you.

See below: Appendicitis usually starts as a crampy pain near the belly button which over the next 6-24 hours localizes into the right lower part of your abdomen. The pain then gets progressively worse sometimes in waves. Fever can occur. A number of other illnesses can mimick appendicitis. If you think you have appendicitis get checked out.

Neither am I : Typical appendicitis begins as vague, central abdominal pain. The pain then moves to the right lower abdomen. Pain is usually constant rather than crampy. The temperature is normal or slightly elevated. Most patients with appendicitis lose their appetite. Nausea is not unusual. Diarrhea is uncommon. This comes on abruptly and is not a long term problem . Sound like you? See a doctor.
