Brief Answer:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It appears closer to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This is a tricky diagnosis made after all the investigations are normal and only Gastroenterologist can diagnose it after careful examination for few months to year. There is enough of trial and error therapy that runs to keep the symptoms away before the final diagnosis is made and treatment for IBS started.

The worst part is it gets worse as the stress increases. Currently you are stressed out, lethargic and depressed and you will have worst phase.

At this stage you need to meet only a Gastroenterologist plus Psychologist who can treat both the symptoms and precipitating stress/low mood.

Let me tell you that IBS will not harm your life and you should not be worried about your kids.

When I do search over internet about my symptom, I am getting more about Colon Cancer, lukumenia, Stomach Cancer, etc.

I am bit worried that I am having tumor, which may not be diagnosed in my past tests.

Should I do any further test like CT Scan, colonsocopy.

I am only worried more about low grade prolonged fever and mild right lower side Abdominal pain. I am sure it cannot be Appendicitis. Is 99 degree consider as low grade fever?

Brief Answer:
No 99 is not low grade

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

To relieve your anxiety you may go in for CT scan. I refrain from doing any intervention like Colonoscopy. YOu may go in for contrast CT for Colon.

Internet search would reveal such tougher things in first place and is of no use to you now.
