Question
My child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing non-stop. Even after going to the hospital and undergoing checks, nothing seems to help. What should be paid attention to when children have appendicitis?
Answer
It’s necessary to combine blood tests and abdominal ultrasounds for an accurate diagnosis. Then, based on the test results, a treatment plan and measures should be developed. The main treatment involves antibacterial and anti-inflammatory measures, as well as symptomatic treatment. In terms of diet, avoid cold and irritating foods. In your situation, you can first use alcohol rubs to reduce fever, and then determine the cause of the fever. There are many causes of fever, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors. Don’t rush into medication.
