One "test" the Dr will do, that you can do right now, is lay on your back, lift your right knee towards your right shoulder!. If it is your appendix, the pain would increase at that, if it does not, well, I would still go to the doctor to find out why you have a fever and pain!. It could be a number of other things, like a kidney infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes!.!.!.the fever alone wouldn't be particularly worrying, but the abdominal pain is very possibly something that could be nasty if you don't get it looked at!.
If you start throwing up and the pain gets more intense, you probably do have appendicitis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
