How long can a child go with appendicitis before he collapses from sepsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: There are many different ways in which this can progress. If it forms a periappendiceal abscess, this could actually drain externally through fistula formation. But why would anyone allow a child with appendicitis to go untreated for a correctable condition?
