Suggest Treatment For Right Sided Abdominal Pain And Inflamed Appendix
Pain in right side of abdomen for almost 2 weeks now. Went to the er when it started and they sent me home with pain meds. Went back in the Tuesday after that and they gave me stomach meds. When in the er they said my appendix was inflamed. Still have pain and pressure lower right side
Surgical removal of appendix is required immediately if the size is more than 10 mm. Chances of burst appendix are there if you delay it. Visit a surgeon again soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
