Unsure: if you are still having pain then this needs continued follow up. If you have fever, worsening pain, develop vomiting then you need to be seen right away. Many times with these symptoms close observation and follow up are essential. Keep in close contact with your treating doctor. Many times abdominal pain needs time to declare itself as either a problem or a benign condition. Hope this helpful

Yes.: 9 mm appendix is abnormal and indicative of appendicitis.
