Brief Answer:
Right illiac fossa pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Based on your description acute appendicitis should be looked for and ruled out with this right illiac fossa pain. Full blood count, urinalysis and an ultrasound should be advised after physical examination to confirm the diagnosis and also look for other causes such as a UTI, collection or urinary tract stone.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
