Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that appendicitis usually causes fever, nausea and abdominal pain, mainly in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important performing complete blood count for infection and an abdominal ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
