What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen On The Right Side?

2 weeks ago I spent a day and a half in hospital emergency due to excessive vomiting, chills and overall discomfort. Many blood tests, 3 X-rays and 3 ctscans (with and without dye) later, the docs were at a loss as to my problem. Food poisoning was ruled out and it was believed I may have caught something from a server at a restaurant or at a buffet brunch the day before the vomiting started. I am now rested and rehydrated but have been getting sharp pains, that come and go, on my lower right side. Sort of my stomach and abdomen area. Could this be appendicitis?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have lower right sided abdominal pain

So mostly it could be appendicitis or colitis like condition

You have to take full course of prescribed antibiotic

Avoid excess spicy foods

Drink more water and include fiber in diet

You have investigated with CT scan also, so no organic cause present

If still no improvement than stool culture can be done

Maintain hydration...

Take care
