Q: Pain On Right Side of Stomach

Hello, I am a 16 year old male and I have been having pain on the right side of my stomach. It has been goin on for about 3-4 days. The strange thing is, sometimes it will hurt, like when im tryin to sleep, but when im in school, I barely feel it. I have looked into appendicitis, but I only have one symptom, which is the pain, no fever, vommiting, nausea or anything like that. Im very nervous about this, and im not sure whether I should go to the hospital or not, please help me....Thanks

Ive had appendicitis, and I had the same symptoms as you. I only had a pain on the side of my stomach. I brushed it off my shoulders, and after a week of on and off pain, it got so bad I couldn't stand up. I recommend you go to the doctors and have it checked out. Though, when I went to the doctors they sent me to the hospital to get various amounts of tests done for it.

Its better to have it checked out sooner than later so it doesn't become inflamed

What kind of tests do they run on you?
