What Causes Lower Right Abdominal Pain?

My son has lower right abdominal pain yesterday. Went to the Dr they sent us to the emergency room. They did an ultrasound, and stated that his appendix appeared normal. Sent us home to observe him. He was better this morning but is back to having mild discomfort. We don t want to go back to the er and get another huge bill for them to send us home, but also don t want to ignore his pain. He has no fever vomiting or diarrhea. Any advice?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history.
I can understand the pains of the huge bills along with the actual pain in abdomen on the lower right side.
Ultrasound is already stated to be normal and no appendicitis, no nausea, no vomiting or loose stools.

You can just visit a Doctor nearby and get a prescription for a 5 day course of an antibiotic active again intestinal infection, Metronidazole, anti-spasmodic and probiotic. He may be fine.

You have to go for further tests only if there is no relief.
