Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...Yes my son is having lower right abdominal pain. It comes on off. He can be running or sitting when he gets the pain. What do you think that could be from. It doesnt hurt when we press his side
Thank you for the query. I would like to know your sons age, duration of the right sided lower abdominal pain and how frequently he experiences the pain (daily, weekly etc.). I would also inquire whether he is on any painkillers for this condition and whether there is any particular aggravating factor for the pain, like deep breathing or coughing. One common cause of right sided lower abdominal pain is acute appendicitis. This is usually accompanied by fever and vomiting. Ingestion of painkillers may mask the intensity of the pain, which may be perceived as a dull, aching pain. Usually appendicitis in its acute stage has a tender right lower abdomen. Irregular bowel movement may lead to abdominal pain and discomfort, which may be vague and difficult to describe. Simple abdominal muscle pull/cramp may lead to muscular pain. I would request you to visit your physician, who can carry out a thorough physical check-up and differentiate a deep pain from a superficial muscle pain. Some investigations like USG abdomen may be required, if the pain doesn't subside. A stool examination may be performed. Hope this helps you out
