Hi,
Yes, the appendicitis pain can come and go. If left untreated, it might cause severe complications including sepsis.
I suggest to run to ER as soon as possible. If appendicitis is confirmed (by physical examination and blood tests), surgery is the only permanent solution. A course of antibiotics is necessary to start prior to surgery and after intervention.
