Should we go back to hospital?

Just under a week ago oldest daughter (14) was sent to hospital by doctor who thought she had appendicitis. When we were there all nurses thought it was appendicitis and told us there wasn't realy a sure way of telling. My daughter was in a lot of pain by then, often to the point that she could not move and the nurses gave her a lot of stronger painkillers to have any effect at all. After all sorts off tests and her staying overnight another doctor came in a rush, poked her stomach for a few seconds then said he thought it was a burst cyst and it should heal on its own. We were them sent home with no painkillers so my daughter has been restricted to paracetamol which hasn't helped at all and she has become worse to the point where she can't stand up for long without collapsing with the pain. I don't want to go to a&e again and have the same thing happen but should I go just in case? I'm not sure wether to book a doctors appointment for her in the morning or take her straight to a&e?

Your poor DD, she has really gone through the mill. Give her our very best wishes and I do hope that she does not have to wait long before she can go home. Thank goodness your DH is also home. It does sometimes seem that all the bad stuff comes in one go, but you've had your fair share & hopefully it's time for some good luck now. Thanks Thanks
