Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Abdomen is a pandora's box and needs to be examined and observed. As the pain is in the lower left abdomen and associated with fever the chances of left uretric colic are more. Ureteric colic pain is very troublesome. I suggest that you get yourself examined by a doctor and get the following minimum investigations done:
1. Hemogram.
2. Urine routine.
3. Ultrasound of the whole abodmen.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back in case you need any clarifications or would like to share more facts.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Regards,
