A member asked:
How long can you survive with a burst appendix?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The course of a perforated appendix is variable and can range from the most severe and even deadly, to a relatively benign course that requires nothing more than antibiotics without surgery. The best thing to do is get checked out, a surgeon will make the best recommendations for the condition.
