Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: On the 4th and 5th of this month, I had some pain in the lower right abdomen. When I pressed it, it felt like there was a lump, but it was fine after a couple of days. I had never had a similar situation before. I gave birth to my daughter via cesarean section on June 15th, and my postpartum recovery was quite good. My period came on October 28th. I want to know what might be causing this pain?Doctor's answer:
If it's appendicitis, the pain in the lower right abdomen will gradually worsen. Observe the symptoms carefully for two days. If the symptoms worsen, appendicitis can generally be diagnosed. You can take levofloxacin and compound sulfamethoxazole (which belongs to the sulfonamide class of drugs and may cause allergies in a small number of people. If you take it once and have no allergic symptoms, you can continue taking it. This medication contains an antibacterial enhancer that can enhance the antibacterial effect of anti-inflammatory drugs, so it has a good therapeutic effect). If the pain does not relieve after taking the medication for two days, it's important to go to a clinic or hospital for intravenous treatment promptly. Don't delay, as it may lead to abscess or perforation of the appendix! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
