Patient's question:
Often experiencing stomach pain with no warning signs, it goes away after a while. The family thought it might be roundworms, but later when taken to a clinic, the doctor said it was appendicitis. Over the past two days, the stomach pain has returned, and the doctor believes it's still appendicitis, possibly because it hasn't fully healed or has recurred. Could you please tell me what factors might cause appendicitis in children?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you often experience stomach pain with no warning signs, which goes away after a while. You went to the clinic, and the doctor said it was appendicitis. You received two days of injections and took medication for several days, but after a break, you've had stomach pain again for the past two days. The doctor said it might still be appendicitis, possibly because it hasn't fully healed or has recurred, and considered the possibility of intestinal spasm or swollen mesenteric lymph nodes. For your child, appendicitis is not considered, and it is recommended to have a blood test and an abdominal ultrasound. Combined with clinical examinations, a clear diagnosis should be made before treatment.
