Hello! Thank you for the query. Lower right abdominal pain can be caused by appendicitis, urinary tract infection, inguinal hernia or even colon cancer. Abdominal ultrasound can be negative with all mentioned reasons. He should come back to his doctor. Blood work (CBC, CRP, urinalysis) should be done and abdominal ultrasound repeated. Colonoscopy is the next step. Abdominal CT can be also considered. Hope this will help. Regards.
