Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Pain in right upper quadrant with slightly reddish vomit, tender to touch in the area is likely a gastric discomfort like gastritis or gall bladder issue like cholecystitis. If the pain is severe and you are unable to take even fluids then yes you should be seen earlier than tuesday otherwise it can wait till tuesday, take some pepto, some antacids, drink fluids a lot, and wait and see.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
