Hello
I understand your concern.

Pain in lower right abdomen may be because of appendicitis/right uretric stone.

If I were your treating doctor,I would recommend,
-Antispasmodic analgesic combination like dicyclomine diclofenac twice a day with antacids for 3 days.
-Maintain adequate hydration.Eat soft,semi solid and well cooked food that are easy to digest.
-Adequate rest advised.

These all measures may provide relief.
If the abdominal pain becomes intolerable,or symptoms like fever, vomiting starts ,you can visit ER.
Or you can wait till you visit gastroenterologist.

Hope this information helps.
Wish you good health.
