What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

"My lower right stomach hurt rather badly last night, didn't hurt that much except when I walked, coughed, and pressed on it. I feel like I am going to puke and have a couple of times last night. My temperature is 99.5" - My Son who is 13, and weighs about 130 lbs. He has had two operations, one when he was 8 months for a double hernia, and one in March for a tonsillectiomy/adnoidectomy.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a general physical examination and a routine blood test like a CBC, and a urine routine/microscopic test, I might refer your son to a general surgeon to rule out appendicitis and if confirmed, for further management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your son's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
