Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

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.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
