Dr. Zhang Junfeng
The treatment of appendicitis depends on the patient’s specific condition. For chronic appendicitis, anti-inflammatory medications may be used to prevent recurrent episodes and control the disease. In contrast, acute appendicitis requires prompt surgical removal of the appendix at a hospital to prevent complications such as appendiceal perforation, which could have more serious consequences for the patient’s health.
