Hi Dear,

Welcome to Heath Care Magic.

Well i am understanding your concern.
Appendicitis is a medical emergency that require prompt surgery to remove appendix .so you should go for a treatment as soon as possible . left untreated , an inflamed appendix will eventually burst or perforate , spilling infectious material into the abdominal cavity . this can lead to peritonitis , a serious inflammation of the abdominal cavity linning that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics

HOPE YOUR CONCERN HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
