I am having lower right quadrant abdominal pain that comes and goes. It is not severe but has been ongoing for a couple of days. No fever, vomiting, or difficulty passing gas and bowel movements. I am worried about appendicitis but do not want to go to the ER unnecessarily. Is this a concern, and what should I do?
