What are the signs and symptoms of appendicitis?

Answer 1

pain in the right side , fever , possibly nausea if you suspect this you should go to the er

Answer 2

Fever and extreme pain in the lower left abdomen which can also radiate to the right side of the abdomen or even feel like it is really in the right side.(Called rebounding pain)
Nausea is common too but does not happen in all cases.
As a general rule,the pain would be sooo great that it would almost double you up and almost prevent you from straighening out.
Do not play around with anything that you think might be an appendicitis because should a "hot" appendix rupture you are now talking a whole new ball game and it is not a pretty sight.
Should an appendix rupture you will have NASTY bacteria spill throughout your whole abdomen that can infect the whole abdomen and it is hard,expensive and time consuming to treat and whereas you can go into the hospital and get your appendix removed and probably leave the next day you will now have to have your whole abdomen opened up and no telling how long it would be before you could go home.

Answer 3

You may have appendicitis if:

You have pain in your belly. The pain begins around your belly button but is felt all over your belly.
Within several hours, the pain gets stronger and then moves below your belly button on your right side (the lower right quadrant). The pain does not go away and gets worse when you move, walk, or cough.
You have pain in the upper right quadrant.
You feel nauseous or throw up a few times. You also may not feel like eating.
You have constipation, back pain, a slight fever, or a swollen abdomen.
You feel tired and do not have a lot of energy.
You probably do not have appendicitis if your abdominal pain is a cramping pain and you also have diarrhea. However, cramping and diarrhea can occur with appendicitis, especially in children.

Some people do not have obvious symptoms. Older people, children younger than 2 years, and pregnant women may not have pain in the lower right quadrant. Other people feel pain in their side because their appendix is in a different position.

Answer 4

The pain is on the right side of the abdomine. If you take your right hand and place your thumb on your bellie button and your small pinkey finger on the top of your hip bone. Your hand will make a V shape the appendix is in the mid of that V. Also, if you push on that spot and when you release that push you will feel more pain than pushing in the bellie. This is unique to appendicitis.

You would find it diffieult to walk. You would be bent over in pain. When you lay down you would draw your legs up because the pain is so bad that you can't straighten them out.

You will most likely have a fever around 101 degrees. There is most likely nausea.

If you continue this get to your doctor or a local ER as soon as possible
