Could Pain In Abdomen, Bloating, Nausea And Diarrhea Be Appendix Related?

I am having strong pains in my stomach. Started in the lower center and then went to the left side. Now it seems strong in the center upper area and seems bloated but hard underneath. Had some Diarrhea day before yesterday and nausea, low fever, headache, low back pain. Went to Dr yesterday and she thought maybe appendix, but white blood count was 6.5 so she thought I should monitor it at home. Feeling bad today but not always excruciating, just strange and uncle comfortable almost like labor pains. How can I know if it s my appendix, my friend also said maybe gall bladder, or just a bad stomach flu.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

As per your symptoms and descriptions, it does not seem to be having acute appendicitis because there would be pain in right illiac fossa means right lower side of abdomen if it would be due to appendix.

Abdominal pain,nausea or vomiting,bloating and diarrhoea could be due to acute gastritis or gastroenteritis,viral gastroenteritis,diverticulitis etc.

You must undergo complete hemogram,electrolytes with clinical examination of abdomen or ultrasound of abdomen.

You will require antibiotics(quinolones or cephalosporins or antiprotozoals etc.) with antiemetic, antispasmodics and antiinflammatories with prebiotics and probiotics.

There might be need of fluid and electrolyte balance in body.

You must general surgeon for immediate treatment who can prescribe you all these medications.

Thanks.
