Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Uncomplicated appendicular inflammation in early stage can resolve with medicines & self care.
-take medicines prescribed by a surgeon regularly till your doctor withdraws it after confirming healing.
- eat light&easily digestible food in small servings more frequently. ( every 3 hours..except for after 8pm.)
-Assure smooth stools . Take stool softners like lactulose over the counter as per need.
- Do not foment/massage abdomen.Nno local pain ointments please.
-Avoid abdominal exercises/abdominal stress .. like weight lifting.
-please keep in mind that surgery may be need with unrelieved pain ,vomitting & fever... &rush to doctor if at all such symptoms arise.
Thanks.
