i'm afarid i have appendictis

Question

My lower right admobin had been hurting for what in 20 min will be 3 hours and I think that it is being caused by appendicitis! But I don't know how to tell my parents. Sure I've told my parents about the pain, but they think it's from diarehha or the spicy food I ate yesterday. But why would it hurt there? And I'm very scared of what might happen next. What if it ruptures? Studies show that it could rupture 72 hours after the pain and then cause infectious liquid to go into your body. That could be fatal. And what would I say to my parents? "Hey guys, guess what? I think I have appendicitis." They would probably not believe me  but if they would they would freak out! What if they found out after it exploded? My life would be filled with suffering! What if I'm worrying about nothing at all? What if I'm pankicing for no reason? But what if I'm right? What if I really do have appendicitis? I would miss the first full week of school, make my parents pay a whole lot of money which was supposed to be for our new house, and I'll just feel plain horrible. And calling a doctor isn't really the best option cause 1, he's in NY while I'm 1 hour and 30 min away, and 2, my mom doesn't even know! Please tell me this is just me...cause then AAAAGGGGHHH!

Answer 1

If it does not get better very soon, I would tell your parents to take you to an urgent care clinic, or the hospital. Yes, it can be very serious.  It may be nothing too, like simple indigestion, muscle spasm, gas, mild ulcer, and lots of other stuff, but only a doctor will know for sure.

Your parents will be very angry at you for not telling them and it turns out to be more serious and costly to treat later. If it is nothing, I promise you they won't get upset.

My dad is a doctor and if it gets to the point were it is invariable pain you NEED to alert your parents like you said it can cause a high risk of passing away and that would be very sad. Also I spelled some words wrong sorry
