General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

Pain on your lower right of abdomen with fatigue and diarrhea suggests acute appendicitis.

I advice you to visit general surgeon immediately to have a proper physical examination.
Urgent USG abdo pelvis scan will be required to diagnose the condition.
It can be covered with a 7-10 days course of antibiotics like cipro/metro.
Analgesics like acetaminophen twice a day may be required for couple of days.
Maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of fluids.Oral rehydration salt solution is recommended.
Have small,soft,semi solid wellcooked meals that are easy to digest.
Have adequate rest.

Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
