[gotcha] Interpreting the sudden disappearance of severe abdominal pain as a sign of recovery

Treat the sudden, unexplained relief of severe abdominal pain as a red flag for perforation \(e.g., ruptured appendix\) and advise immediate emergency medical evaluation.

Journey Context:
Users often report to agents that their severe stomach ache finally went away, expecting reassurance. Agents might validate this as healing. However, in acute appendicitis or ulcers, the rupture of the organ relieves the localized pressure, causing a temporary 'feeling better' before diffuse peritonitis sets in and becomes fatal. This counter-intuitive relief is a critical trap.
