Dr. Wang Shengqiang
Subphrenic abscess may result from perforated appendicitis, gastrointestinal perforation, or acute peritonitis. Common symptoms include night sweats, generalized fatigue, chest pain, and dyspnea. It is recommended to take antibiotics in appropriate doses under a physician’s guidance. During treatment, adequate rest and increased intake of warm water are advised.
