What Causes Fatigue, Chills And Stomach Upset After An Appendectomy?
Hi. My son is 11 yrs old. He had appendectomy nearly 8 weeks ago. The last 3 weeks he has had fatigue, chills, upset stomach for one day, then the next day he s ok.....well, usually just the tiredness persists. This is totally out of character for him. No fever. With school starting next week, I m wondering if I should see his doc.

The surgery is about 2 months now,and the little gye is ok.It might be a normal indigestion or dehydration if no persistent(continuous) symptoms are there.Hence dont worry please add good amount of fruits,fibre and fluids to his diet,see that he plays and rests well.we need to think only fever,tiredness and all repeat.As of now he can go to school
hope this helps
welcome for further queries
