Hello.Although Ultrasound does not show signs of appendicitis, your syndrome may be the beginning of acute appendicitis.
If appendicitis is confirmed, the treatment is surgery(but with minimal incision s and only 48-72 hours of hospitalization).
Another possible diagnosis is intestinal infection, in that case the treatment is antibiotic by vein.
I wish you good health.
