A member asked:

Can a appendicitis carry on for a couple days and not rupture?

Dr. Zeenat Hasan answered

Specializes in Bariatrics

Yes: Typically appendicitis pain gets progressively worse and is unrelenting. Eventually it will rupture, but that time frame varies depending on the person. If you are worried about appendicitis, see your doctor or go to the ER.
