Answer:

Appendicitis

Step-by-step explanation:

Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed, and begins to fill with pus. Though a plethora of things can cause abdominal pain, such as minuscule things like gas buildup, appendicitis typically creates abdominal discomfort in the lower right section of your abdomen.
