Abdominal pain above the belly button appendicitis?

Ask
Hello doctor,
Yesterday at noon, I ate rice and wine but it was too fermented, and then I had a pain in the upper part of the navel that throbbed from time to time, until the evening I went to the hospital for an emergency ultrasound with an X-ray. CT doctor said appendicitis could be operated. But when the doctor pressed his hand on my stomach and asked if it hurt, I said it didn't hurt so the doctor said so to monitor. Today, I feel less pain in my stomach. So the doctor told me the abdominal pain above the navel is appendicitis? I don't feel pain, is it because of the enteritis that dissolves? Thank you doctor.
