Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good day, For the past 4 days I ve had abnormal abdominal pain. From my belly button to the right side of my body. I m not in extreme pain, I d say at worst it s a 6/10. But I feel like I have a fever. I am taking spasm pills and abdominal pain pills. Should I see a General Practitioner? I m a white male aged 27. No health issues.
Hi, I would suggest you to consult a surgeon if your pain increases despite the medications you have taken. Or if you develop any vomiting along with fever, then you need to consult a surgeon at the earliest. From the description of yours, I can sense a clue about appendicitis. But it cannot be a definitive diagnosis until investigations like ultrasonography can be done. Do consult a surgeon in case pain aggravates or you get additional symptoms as mentioned above. I hope this information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
