Hello! Thank you for the query. Typical symptoms of appendicitis are lower right abdominal pain, pain while coughing and/walking, nausea, slight fever and accelerated heart rate. As every case is different, we assume that every lower right abdominal pain can be caused by inflammation of an appendix. That is why, you should not wait 3 days, appendicitis is a condition which needs quick treatment. I suggest you to visit ER, have abdominal ultrasound, blood work, urinalysis. General surgeon should consult you. Hope this will help. Regards.
