Appendicitis Surgery ?

My daughter woke up at 4 am. She has been crying and complaining of stomach pain ever since. She has vomited 3 times. She is running a temp. of 99-100 degrees. She is a bit of an over-reactor to pain, but I figure that even an over-reacting child would get tired of crying after 11 1/2 hours. I really suspect appendicitis, but the only thing that makes me doubt it, is that she wants to sit in the shower. When I put her in there, she acts like she is fine. Does anyone out there have an opinion or experience with childhood appendicitis and how it presents itself in children? Or any information that could help explains my daughter’s ailment.


Answers:

Vomiting and low grade fever are consistent with appendicitis, the fact it has lasted so long is a reason for concern.Nursing dictionary states that: constant pain in right lower quadrant. Patients often keep knees bent to lower pain. Fever rises sharply if the appendix bursts because of infection, sudden relief from pain shortly after bursting followed by increased diffuse pain.Seeing a doctor is a good idea, or at least call an ER and see if you can get some advice.

But you should consider some other factors as well such as-

b) Do they recommend having a close friend or family member travel with you to provide support for Appendix Surgery In India.

c) Find out when the India’s high season is so that you can avoid exorbitant flight prices and enjoy more moderate weather.

d) Read up on local costs, the prices of meals, transport and hotels, how easy is it to travel around and whether it is considered safe to do so.
The reasons for choosing to travel abroad for Appendix surgery are different for everyone but with lengthy NHS waits and concerns about MRSA advantage of affordable, high quality private healthcare in India, and combining it with a tropical, cultural or relaxing holiday saving thousands of pounds compared with having the treatment done privately in the UK.
