If in doubt seek medical attention. Appendicitis has a common test you can do yourself--Rebound Pain--Push on the area and then quickly release the pressure. If there is sudden pain upon the release, you've probably got appendicitis. Seek medical attention. Also a fever AND gut pain demands immediate attention.
