Among the above symptoms, I had 3 types of heat, bloating, and pain in the right lower abdomen. However, it wasn’t as severe as Dingul, as seen on TV, so I thought lightly that it was just temporary. In fact, even after time passed, I did not feel the symptoms getting worse, so I had discomfort. However, after holding on like this, the appendix finally burst. When the appendix ruptures, the pain appears distinctly different from the initial symptoms.
Symptoms of a burst appendix
The tolerable symptoms continued, but suddenly excruciating pain in the right lower abdomen began. If you think about it, you can say that the appendix burst at this time. The pain was so severe that I couldn’t even move my leg, and I couldn’t even imagine walking. In addition, the fever exceeded 39 degrees, and I vomited. Since I did not have professional knowledge, I could not have imagined that my appendix had burst, but I thought it was a serious situation, so I called 911 and went to the hospital.

What if the appendix bursts?

Appendicitis Questions (Q&A)
Q) Is it possible to self-medicate?
Appendicitis cannot be self-medicated. Because of its nature, antibiotic treatment is required in the early stages to reduce inflammation, so you must visit the hospital. If you drag the time, you may end up bursting your appendix like me.
Q) When should I go to the hospital?
Each person has different symptoms of appendicitis, and there are quite a few people like me who can tolerate it. However, basically, it is desirable to go to the hospital unconditionally if accompanied by low-grade fever, lower abdominal pain, and indigestion. Because no one regrets going to the hospital.
Q) Will it be treated with folk remedies?
If you search the web, it is said that adlay rice, peach seeds, burdock, mokdan root bark, chickweed, etc. are good for appendicitis. However, due to the nature of appendicitis, it is not recommended because it progresses rapidly and the effect of these folk remedies is very insignificant. If you have pain and spend time with folk remedies, it can make treatment more difficult.
