Hi and welcomet to HCM.
It doesnt sounds to me like appendicits. YOu would have associated nausea,vomiting, fever and constant pain in lower right abdominal area. If this is panful when you press it then it can be appendicitis which is very common in your age. If you want to be sure you should go to hospital.
WIsh you good health.

Hi ! Your history suggests that you might have torn some muscle fibres and might have developed a hematoma (collection of blood) in the are which you think is for appendix. This will give rise to the pain while coughing and sneezing. You may take some anti inflammatory tabtets for the pain and swelling which will gradullay subside. See your doctor if the swelling increases. However, one should not be very much confident of this diagnosis and appendicitis should be kept at the back of one's mind as a coincidental pathology. If the pain gets worse, you should see a general surgeron, who may advise you for an ultrasound abdomen apart from some routine blood tests. Wish you an early recovery.
