Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Today at school my stomach started hurting and I thought it would just away like usual but instead it got worse and worse through the day and shifted lower. The problem is, I don t know whether this pain is cramps or Appendicitis. I feel like it couldn t be my period because I had it already in late September. Also, I was constipated yesterday and I feel like I have a fever but I don t know. When I walk or move it makes it hurt worse. Please help this is urgent to me because the pain is so bad and i want to use a heat pack on it but it says I shouldn t do that if i have Appendicitis.
There could be a number of causes for symptoms you have mentioned and appendicitis is one of them. If pain does not settle then there is high probability of appendicitis. I would suggest you to visit hospital for through workup to rule out serious pathology. I will nor recommend pain killer at the moment because it will ask the signs for doctor to diagnosis.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
