Precaution required

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

Well, you should wait and see if new symptoms will occur or pain come back. These are non-specific symptoms but fever and pain may be a sign of urinary tract infection or some inflammatory process in your abdomen.

I'd suggest having easier diet, plenty of fluids and rest. If pain recurs or fever rise or urinating pain and vomit occur, you should see a doctor and do an abdominal ultrasound to rule out any diverticulitis or abscess.

Wish you good health.
