Ive been having pain in my right lower abdomen. I went to the ER last night and they did blood test and an ultrasound and saud  they couldnt see anything but they they told me it could be apendisitis and to watch for a fever. im looking for a second opinion because the pain comes and goes. Is this normal?
Hi. Thanks for your query. IF the pain comes and goes in the abdomen, this is called spasmodic pain and can be there in intestinal infection, appendicitis, ureteric colic, biliary colic. Since ultrasonography has been done it is possible that this is due to intestinal infection as this is not seen in the ultrasonography. I would advise you to take a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotic. Watch for Fever and go for CT scan as this can certainly confirm or rule out appendicitis and so.
