What are the symptoms of severe suppurative appendicitis

Appendicitis is a very common disease in our lives. When some symptoms of appendicitis appear, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, because when appendicitis is severe, a large amount of pus will appear. If it is not treated in time, it will cause perforation, causing pus to enter the abdomen, which will be very easy to get infected. In severe cases, it may endanger the patient's life.

Symptom 1

Metastatic right lower abdominal pain is typical of acute appendicitis. The pain usually begins in the upper and middle abdomen or around the navel, and the patient cannot accurately identify the exact location of the pain. After several hours or more than ten hours, the abdominal pain shifts to the lower right abdomen and becomes persistent. About 70% to 80% of patients have a history of the above abdominal pain.

Symptom 2

Gastrointestinal symptoms of acute appendicitis are generally accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea or constipation.

Symptom three

There is an obvious tenderness point. When appendicitis occurs, there is usually an obvious tenderness point in the lower right abdomen, which is the most important feature of appendicitis.

Symptom 4

Acute appendicitis mostly presents systemic symptoms, including headache and weakness. If it is severe, it may also be accompanied by fever and palpitations.

Precautions

1. Do not use painkillers for abdominal pain without a clear diagnosis. Because pain relief masks the condition, it is easy to delay diagnosis and cause serious consequences.

2. After suffering from acute appendicitis, if home treatment is ineffective, go to the hospital immediately.

3. According to the current medical level and technical conditions, surgical treatment is more effective for acute appendicitis. Even after conservative treatment, it is easy to relapse. Therefore, surgical treatment is still the main treatment for acute appendicitis when conditions permit.

4. For those who receive non-surgical treatment, medication should be used thoroughly. After the symptoms and signs disappear, the medicine should still be used for 1 week to consolidate the therapeutic effect and reduce recurrence.

5. Hospitalization should be arranged by the doctor. Accompanying personnel should cooperate with medical staff to take care of the patients.

6. The condition and signs of appendicitis vary greatly, and many patients have atypical manifestations. If you are not sure, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. In order to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
