Question
What factors can lead to pediatric appendicitis?
Answer
As described, children often complain of abdominal pain, which is sudden and short-lived. After seeing a doctor, they are diagnosed with appendicitis. After treatment, the pain stopped for a while, but it has appeared again recently. The doctor suspects that it may not have been completely cured or has recurred. However, considering the child’s symptoms, it is not recommended to diagnose them with appendicitis. It is suggested to conduct pediatric routine blood tests and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and to adopt appropriate treatment.
