My daughter was taken by ambulance to hospital on Thursday morning with suspected appendicitis, they did a scan and could not make out a clear picture because some fluid in the area. They thought maybe a ruptured cyst also. The surgeon that seen her that night said if pain was still there in the morning they would do a laposcopy to see inside and most probably remove the appendix. We had a different surgeon yesterday morning who just kept giving her morphine up until yesterday afternoon and sent her home with endone tablets. They would not rule out appendicitis or ruptured cyst. The pain is quite severe on the lower right side when the endone wears off. She has now developed a slight temp of 37.6 and it hurts when she eats. Come home from the hospital dishartened and very confused and worried. What should I do?
Namaste Welcome to Chat Doctor Greetings of the day Still persisting pain, loss of appetite and fever points towards clinical diagnosis of ongoing infection in the abdomen and most likely appendicitis. Appendicitis is usually a clinical diagnosis and collaborated by laboratory finding of raised white blood cell count, CRP.  What does the scan report mention the status of right ovary?  Is the right ovary normal in vascularity and size? I would advise you to see your primary physician once again and discuss with him/her the possibility of appendicitis or Ovarian torsion /cyst rupture. Wishing her a fast recovery. Kindly get back to me if you have any further questions or concerns. Take care Regards
