How Can Appendicitis Be Treated?

I took my sister to the hospital to the ER room do to the fact she was in a lot of pain in her stomach, nausa and dirahhea. We stayed for 4 hours and the ER doctor stated that my sister ad a puss infection around her appendix and asked her for a surgeon to in. When my sister said no and left the hospital. Doctor called on her cell and said that it could be dangerous if it busted. How long would the pain last she stated she was in pain since Wednesday. What can I do?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Appendicitis is a emergency problem. Clinical examination and USG/CT scan will help in the diagnosis.
Your sister require urgent surgery.
If it is remain untreated cause rupture of the appendix and that lead to infection spread to abdominal wall and other organ, widespread sepsis.
So consult the experienced surgeon and undergo surgery like laparoscopic/open appendectomy to cure the problem.
Pre and post surgery antibiotic should given to control infection
Hope this may help you
