Thanks for contacting with your health concern.

1. since the symptoms are acute thus an immediate visit to ER is warranted to exclude:

i. As the pain is on the right side, in addition to x-ray, ask for ultrasonography of HBR [hepatobiliary region] for Amoebic liver abscess and Cholecystitis. [since family history is present]

PS. other possibilities which can be excluded at the time of examination are an inflammatory bowel disorder, appendicitis.

PS. sometimes there may be an underlying medical condition/situation which needs appropriate treatment so urgent medical evaluation and management is required.
