Hi it depends on the condition of the patient whether he is in severe pain, any vomiting or not and also on the complete blood count test.

It is not serious & do not any emergency operation. But if you are feeling contstant severe pain in abdomen with fever & vomiting & the ultrasound report showing swelling & inflammation of appendix then you need emergency operation.
