General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Any pain abdomen is not necessarily be an attack of appendicitis. As you have got this pain for quite some time which got worse now, I would suggest you to get it assessed clinically by a general surgeon, who might advise you for some routine blood tests, urine test, a stool test for ova and cyst and an ultrasound abdomen if considered necessary. Further management would depend on the results of clinical finding and investigation reports. Till then, you could take some mild anti spasmodic drug and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Sharee
