Is Swollen Abdomen A Symptom Of Appendicitis?
Hi, I have a pain in my abdomen that has many symptoms of appendicitis. The pain has not gotten worse and it doesn't hurt too much. My stomach has swelled as well. This has happened to me twice before in the course of a few months. I heard appendicitis's don't come and go like that. So what could it be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this is not the appendicitis but this could be colicky abdominal pain, the exact location of pain not being mentioned here, the condition can be treated with, Tab Dicylomine and Acetaminophen three times in day, if the symptoms persist then x- ray study would be necessary, have a nice day.
