The pain started close to belly button and now only on lower right side im not for sure if I should go to the hospital and if it is appendix how many days until it burst
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, you should definitely go to emergency room and get done clinical examination and ultrasound abdomen. This will identify if it is appendicitis or something else. If it is appendicitis then urgent surgery is needed. There is no specific time for rupture of appendicular abscess. Better not to wait.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
