Patient: This morning, my baby suddenly had a stomachache and fever, and I went to the hospital and suspected appendicitis, but the diagnosis was not confirmed. Please give me your opinion, is my baby really suffering from appendicitis? Feng Qi: The diagnosis of appendicitis is 100% definitive and can only be told after surgery. There are many typical symptoms of appendicitis, and usually, the more symptoms the child has, the more likely it is. Without surgical confirmation, the doctor cannot tell the child that it must be appendicitis 100% of the time. Patient: Thank you, Dr. Feng, for your answer! The baby is home now, and after eating, she is jumping around again, and I don’t see any symptoms, so I don’t think it’s appendicitis, right? I’ve asked a lot of people, and none of the symptoms they mentioned have appeared. May I ask if I can be discharged? Feng Qi: If there is no abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., it is recommended to recheck the blood count and if there is no abnormality, you can be discharged. Appendicitis is not a disease that requires surgery. Simple appendicitis with mild symptoms can be treated with anti-infection, but there is a possibility of recurrence. If your child has similar symptoms in the future, you should keep an eye on the possibility of the disease and it will be OK. Patient: Thank you, Dr. Feng! Now the baby is discharged from the hospital ~~ no problem was found ~~ just spent more than 800 yuan of wasted money. Feng Qi: Hello, not the diagnosis is not clear, no surgery wasted money, the child has abdominal pain, fever and other uncomfortable symptoms, hospitalization to give relevant tests and anti-infection treatment are necessary, the child abdominal pain is better is also the role of treatment. On the other hand, if the child has abdominal pain and fever, the doctor does not give relevant examination and treatment, and the result is appendicitis, or even perforation, diffuse peritonitis, then it is not to say that the doctor is not high medical skills, delay the child, or even no medical ethics.
