well it's hard to say. a number of conditions could be causing the pain you describe. unless you're running a fever you probably can safely take a "watchful waiting" approach to see if the situation improves. if you begin to run a fever you definitely should seek medical attention. lower-right quadrant pain frequently is associated with appendicitis. by the way appendicitis is considered a medical emergency so if you spike a fever and the pain gets worse you've won a ticket to the er. however many other non-emergency things could cause the pain you're describing. for example a piece of hard stool could be stuck in the intestine temporarily. this is a frequent cause of abdominal pain of all kinds. in this case the stool eventually moves on and the pain goes away. even a pocket of intestinal gas could cause the symptoms you describe. as always my usual advice in any medical situation is this: if things start moving toward "worse" instead of "better " see your health care provider. meanwhile get a thermometer (don't rely on whether or not you feel hot to the touch or anything of that sort) monitor your temperature (every four hours is fine) and just keep close tabs on the situation. chances are it will clear up on its own. wishing you well!
