Hi,
It seems that this pain might be due to acute appendicitis, as pain is in side and radiates in front.
You may require to give urgent attention to control inflamed appendix.
Go for one higher antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course to control infection, otherwise chances of bursting of appendix is there.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
