Possible appendicitis

Hi everyone I am trying to get through to GP but constantly engaged at the moment

My 15 year old daughter first complained of a dull stomach ache on Tuesday which started around 2pm and she vomited once and was off her food
Yesterday she still had the pain but could eat better and the pain was around a 4 out of 10
Come today and the pain has now moved to the lower right side and is now more of a crampy tight feeling rather than pain that is coming and going

It's not the typical symptoms as such but wondered if it could be her appendix???

It’s worth getting her checked over just in case. Appendicitis can go downhill quite suddenly. They can examine her and US the area.

I’d get her to a walk in centre quickly - don’t bother the doctor they’ll only send you to A&E
