i had really bad pains in my lower right
part of my stomach and my mum gave me some
pain killers since then it has gone off
and seems to be ok but I can still feel
slight pains in the same place. I was not
ill or feverish. Do you think this could
be the start of appendicitus ?

You don't necessarily have to be feverish.
In terms of pain, most appendicitis cases
are associated with a constant
aching, one that does not come and go.
Have you had any nausea? Any trouble with
bowel movements lately? If you start to
become feverish or the pain gets worse,
see your doctor immediately! It's better
to be safe and get checked out than to run
the risk of a ruptured appendix! Hope
this helps! Good luck!
I would think once ya get a fever that
would mean its already burst, but
maybealso develop a fever due to the pain
etc I dunno. Thats just what I would
think
