How do you know if its your appendix or just a tummy ache?
If you have a bad appendix, then the pain will usually be in the very lower right side of the abdomen, although the pain may be near the belly button or even in the lower back. A burst appendix can be a serious matter, so you should see a doctor if the pain persists. If you have a fever as well as the pain, you need to head to the emergency room as your appendix may have burst causing an infection. Usually when you have a tummy bug or tummy ache the pain stays in the middle, but with appendicitis, the pain becomes extremely painful and moves towards the side of your tummy. Very painful tummy aches should immediately be checked out by a physician or better, at the hospital because there may be a chance your appendix is bursting. When it bursts a sort of fluid flows out and it can cause infection. In more severe cases it causes death. Just like Houdini who died of his appendix bursting.
