Hi.
Thanks for your query.

IF the pain comes and goes in the abdomen , this is called spasmodic pain and can be there in intestinal infection , appendicitis , ureteric colic , biliary colic.
Since ultrasonography has been done it is possible that this is due to intestinal infection as this is not seen in the ultrasonograqphy.
I would advise you to take a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotic.
Watch for Fever and go for CT scan as this can certainly confirm or rule out appendicitis and so.
