Without being seen by your pediatrician, you cannot be sure of your diagnosis. And you should have already received the chicken pox vaccine. Children are routinely recommended to receive the first dose at 12 through 15 months old and a second dose at 4 through 6 years old.

Cuts to the bottom of the foot can take a long time to completely heal, especially if they are in a weightbearing area. However, your question doesn’t indicate whether or not you have seen a physician, and it is possible that you could have a piece of glass left in your foot, even though the wound has healed. I would recommend that you see either an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon or a podiatrist if you have not already.

First, it is unclear that the pain is coming from the appendix, as there are possible causes of pain in that area.

Otherwise, I would call her primary care physician’s office to make an appointment as soon as possible.
