A member asked:
Why is vomiting a common symptom of appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Appendicitis is caused by infection and inflammation of the appendix in the abdomen. This inflammatory process irritates the abdomen, including the stomach. It also releases multiple proteins and enzymes in the blood that can be nauseating and therefore cause vomiting.
