When to Seek Medical Assessment

• Urgent Care: Consult a general physician urgently if you or your child experience abdominal pain that is gradually worsening or not going away, especially if it moves to the lower right side of the abdomen.
• Emergency Department: Seek immediate medical help at an emergency department if you or your child have severe abdominal pain; or confusion, blotchy or paler skin (on brown or black skin, this may be visible on palms/soles), or difficulty breathing, as these could indicate sepsis. If the pain suddenly improves for a short time and then spreads severely across the whole abdomen, it could suggest a burst appendix.
