Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
If your appendix has not been removed by surgery for previous episode of appendicitis, then the infection can appear again and again.
If it is happening repeatedly and not responding well to conservative line of management, better to consult Surgeon and get it removed.
Wish you good health.
