Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly had severe stomach pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up. Through an ultrasound, it was determined that I have acute appendicitis. How should this condition be treated? How long will it take to recover? Should I be hospitalized for treatment? Will it recur again?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the most important aspect of treating acute appendicitis is to use antibiotics promptly and in sufficient quantity. The antibiotics used during this period should preferably be broad-spectrum. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment during this stage, which is typically 7 days, followed by a period of consolidation therapy. Acute appendicitis must not be allowed to develop into chronic appendicitis, so it is essential to treat it properly and promptly in the early stages to avoid future complications.
