Doctor's answer:
Hello:Treatment of Appendicitis
Chronic appendicitis is generally treated using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. This typically involves Chinese herbal medicine (primarily focused on promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis) along with Western medicine (mainly antibiotics). Physical therapy methods such as laser, microwave, and ion permeation may also be considered. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between rest and activity, increase nutrition, and exercise regularly to enhance overall immunity.，(、)。
