Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Appendicitis is a kind of diagnose which you never can be sure. Usually it is a suspicion of appendicitis which can be confirmed only by surgical removal. And it is not a mistake to remove healthy appendix.
It is hard to say if he has appendicitis not knowing what symptoms does he have. Typical appendicitis symptoms are lower right abdominal pain, nausea, slight fever, accelerated heart rate, pain while walking or coughing.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
