How to deal with appendicitis

Sudden severe abdominal pain is the main symptom of acute abdomen. Once the elderly have acute abdominal pain, they should go to the hospital immediately. If the doctor proposes emergency surgical treatment, they should actively cooperate with the doctor to prepare for the operation. Unfortunately, many elderly patients or their families mistakenly think that they are too old to bear the operation, or suffer a knife when they are too old. It is better to give them an injection and take medicine to recover slowly, so as to delay the best time of the operation, cause irreversible lesions, and let death take the life of the elderly after the disease.

How to rescue acute appendicitis

1. General treatment: mainly for bed rest, fasting, giving water, electrolyte and heat intravenous input, etc.

2. Before the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, the patient should not be given laxatives, opiates, dolantin and morphine, nor take pain removing tablets, because these drugs can easily cover up the truth of the disease, delay the diagnosis and aggravate the disease.

3. In principle, all patients with acute appendicitis should go to the hospital immediately for appendectomy, especially when it is suspected that there may be suppurative necrosis of the appendix.
