FOR CONFIRMATION YOU CAN GO AHEAD WITH A CT SCAN OF ABDOMEN AND PELVIS, THAT WILL CONFIRM THE PRESENCE OF APPENDICITIS AND ALSO ELL RULE OUT OTHER POSSIBILITIES LIKE URETRIC COLIC/ LYMPHADENITIS.
IF PHYSICALLY YOU ARE ALRIGHT THEN IT MEANS YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE SUBSIDING.
Next Steps
If this is really a appendicitis then it's advisable to go ahead with laparoscopic Appendectomy as chances of perforation always remain.
This also depends upon the blood picture like TLC AND NEUTROPHILS count. If again high then it's indication for surgery.
As of now better to be on liquid diet for next 3- 5 days till pain subside fully.
