A member asked:
I was diagnosed with subacute appendicitis and i was told by the doctor that i do not need surgery can i rely on that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subacute: Appendicitis can be treated conservatively with antibiotics but a physician needs to do a full workup to decide if you need antibiotics or surgery etc. If there are no signs of perforation of the appendix then antibiotics can treat most cases
