Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It may be parastomal hernia, but also appendicitis cant be ruled out especially if there is nausea, vomit, fever and loss of apetite so considering his previous disease, it would be good to visit hospital and do additional tests.
