Appendicitis

If your child tells you they are having pain in their abdomen especially the lower right side of the abdomen, you need to accept that it could be appendicitis.

Appendicitis means inflammation of the appendix. The appendix is a little organ that is attached to the beginning of the large intestine. This is located in the lower right side of the abdomen. The function of the appendix isn't really known. Appendicitis will occur for different reasons, but should be taken care of immediately. There are many symptoms of appendicitis, but mostly everyone will have abdominal pain, often on the right side. The pain is usually sudden and will get worse over time. They might also feel jittery, nauseated, have diarrhea or constipation, and maybe a little fever.

Appendicitis will usually always be treated by having surgery to remove the appendix. Depending on where you are located, they may do a type of surgery where they inflate the belly, make a few small incision, put a camera through the small incision into the abdomen, and take out the appendix, all by watching what they are doing on a screen. It is really neat. It's called a laparoscopic appendectomy. This surgery is relatively quick with only small scars.

The appendix can burst if not treated in time. This would cause an infection within the abdomen. Appendicitis is a medical emergency and those experiencing the symptoms should go to the emergency room.

  1. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
    It is cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cured. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Parkinson, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Syndrome, Cancers, HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, and any kind of disease & Infections Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching, honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
