Appendicitis

Appendicitis is a painful swelling of the appendix. Appendicitis begins with pain and fever near the belly button and then moves toward the lower-right side of the abdomen.  Appendicitis includes right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. Usually, Antibiotics are used for the treatment of Appendicitis, and surgery is required within 24 hours of its diagnosis. If you are suffering from appendicitis, your appendix will need to be removed as soon as possible. The removal of an infected appendix is known as an appendicectomy or appendectomy. If it is untreated, the appendix can rupture and cause an abscess or systemic infection.
