Can appendicitis be cured by medicines?
Patient: sir,my son is 10yrs old,he had pain in stomach after having sonography done the result was of apendix .it was noted as subtle thickening of the appenicular wall noted with probe tenderness to suggest sub-acute appendicitis.no lump seen.sir please suggest me that  can this apendix is cureble by medicene or be operated. Doctor: HI...usually sub-acute appendicitis is something which will require conservative management and antibiotic therapy initially and then later on will definitely need surgery. I suggest you consult a pediatric surgeon regarding this and the kid might require even hospitalization and Intravenous antibiotics.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
