Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic!
If in addition to the right lower quadrant pain, you have other symptoms like vomiting and fever, then appendicitis has to be ruled out which can be confirmed with a USG/CT abdomen. It is an emergency condition.
other conditions can also mimic it.
Since you are having frequent loose stools also, stomach bug is another possibility.
