Why do i have frequent infection after appendectomy? i had my surgery 3 months ago and the infection is cured with antibiotics, now i have the infection back?

RecurrentAppendiciti: It is possible for your appendix get re-infected after initial treatment with just antibiotics. Specially if you had “stones” or appendicoliths in the appendix on initial presentation. I recommend to remove the appendix with recurring infections of the appendix.
