∙ 12y agoThe pain during appendicitis usually starts in and around your belly button. The pain is initially minor but then begins to become much worse. Slowly the pain begins to move to the lower right side of your abdomen. Try pressing this region. If the pain gets worse or you suffer a sudden muscular spasm, there is a good chance of appendicitis. The pain will gradually become unbearable. The best thing to do under these circumstances is to get a doctor's consult. For a quicker response try an e hospital. They can provide a consult online, if you so require.

Special method of palpation is used for the same. You use the hand of the child himself to palpate the abdomen of the child. You palpate all the abdominal areas except the right iliac region. When you try to take the hand of the child to right iliac region, the child will immediately take out the hand away from it. This will give you the diagnosis of the acute appendicitis.
