after a ruptured appendix and a 5 day hospital stay of antibotics and no food diet.is it possible to heal and NOT have to have your appendix removed ?
Hi Sandra,
In some cases the appendix can heal, if it is only swollen, with antibiotics.
In your case though it ruptured, burst. This is a serious medical issue as bacteria from your intestines gets into the body and can cause very dangerous infections.
Surgical removal is required of a burst appendix.
