Appendicitis is inflammation of the vestigeal organ appendix. Usually pain starts periumbilical and refers down to McBurney's point . associated symptoms can be vomiting , fever . its advisable to do an USG abdomen to confirm diagnosis and decide the treatment further. Treatment depends upon the size of inflammation . you are adviced to meet your consultant so that he /she might start with antibiotics and plan treatment at the earliest.
