Symptoms and Signs of Appendicitis
Appendicitis typically begins with a sudden, dull ache around the belly button that gradually shifts to the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, where it becomes sharp and constant.
The pain intensifies with coughing, walking, or sudden movements. Associated symptoms include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, and abdominal bloating or tenderness.
If you experience severe, unbearable pain that spreads across your entire belly accompanied by high fever and chills, seek emergency medical attention immediately as this signals a ruptured appendix.
