What Causes Right Sided Body Pain While Having Flu Symptoms?

Seven year old boy has had flu symptoms all day with low grade fever and this evening is is complaining about his right side hurting even to touch. Our local clinic is closed. Can we rule out appendix as long as fever low or should we take him to the emergency room?
