Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Your friend is showing typical signs of appendicitis which usually presents with pain around the umbilicus radiating to the right side of the abdomen with fever and vomiting. I suggest you get him to ER as soon as possible for examination and treatment. He can take Tab Buscopan 10mg for now and needs to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.
Thanks.
