First, it is unclear that the pain is coming from the appendix, as there are possible causes of pain in that area. It doesn’t sound as if the pain is severe, but if it is, or becomes severe, then you need to take your mother to the hospital as acute appendicitis is a medical emergency. Otherwise, I would call her primary care physician’s office to make an appointment as soon as possible.
