Are Lower Abdominal Pains Signs Of Appendicitis?

My daughter is 15. The Dr was concerned she as showing signs of early appendicitis 2 days ago but her blood tests were normal. Her pain has not gone away and today she has a slight fever....99.5 average. She began her period this morning. Should I take her back to the Dr? No nausea. But, the pain has come and gone...like cramping.....strong at times...lower right......I can lift her leg bent at the knee like the Dr did and it doesn't seem to bother her.

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though a case of appendicitis could not be ruled out without a physical examination by the treating doctor, the pain could also have been due to a pre menstrual pain. If I were your doctor, I would also go for a urine routine/microscopic test to rule out an asymptomatic UTI (urinary tract infection), a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and if considered necessary, an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any other pelvic pathology. Further management would depend on the close watch on any changes in the clinical findings, and related investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
