My mother has been feeling bad the past few days. She says she thinks her appendix are swollen and could blow up. It's her last day of work and she went in today, and I want her to go to the doctor and have it checked to see is she needs to have them removed. I'm scared for her because she said it's deadly. I need some answers, please? what should I do??

First, calm down and don't panic because panicking won't help no matter what the cause of her pain is.
Second, call your local hospital and ask to speak to an emergency room nurse or a nurse advice line if they have it. Then put your mother on the phone and have her describe exactly what the pain feels like and where it is as well as any other symptoms.
The nurse will tell you whether to come in immediately or to wait.
Having had a perforated appendix, I suggest calling the nurse as soon as possible.
Please keep in mind I am not a medical professional and this is not intended as medical advice.
