Dr. Shen Yonghua
When chronic appendicitis recurs, the following measures can be taken:
1. Actively use antibiotics: Such as Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets, to control inflammation and relieve pain.
2. Surgical treatment: If medication fails to control symptoms effectively, appendectomy may be considered. Surgical options include open surgery and minimally invasive surgery, and the specific choice should be based on the patient's condition and the physician's recommendation.
3. Adjust dietary habits: Avoid overeating, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid raw, cold, or spicy foods to reduce irritation to the appendix.
For recurrent chronic appendicitis, a comprehensive management approach combining medication, surgical treatment, and lifestyle modifications should be implemented.
