How should appendicitis in children be treated conservatively?

Acute appendicitis in children is a pediatric abdominal surgical disease. For children, especially infants, early detection and timely treatment of appendicitis are very important. If not treated in time, it may cause some other types of diseases, seriously affecting the baby's health. Therefore, if a child is found to have appendicitis, he must go to the hospital for treatment and must not delay treatment. Below are some treatment methods for appendicitis compiled by the editor.

Appendicitis is commonly known as "appendicitis". The appendix is ​​an earthworm-like blind tube protruding near the head of the cecum, located in the lower right abdomen. Appendicitis means that the appendix becomes inflamed due to various reasons, which leads to symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. There are two types of appendicitis in children: acute and chronic, and there is a certain connection between the two.

Conservative treatment

1. During conservative treatment, children can eat light food according to their actual conditions to regulate gastrointestinal function;

2. Before the appendix abscess is formed, drainage is not suitable and conservative treatment should be performed. The child should be ensured to rest in bed and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent the tumor from rupturing and the spread of inflammation.

3. Local treatment can be combined with physical therapy.

How to prevent acute appendicitis in children?

Since the cause of acute appendicitis in children is still unclear, in order to try to prevent the baby from suffering from appendicitis, mothers can do the following:

Several aspects to note:

Diet: guide your baby to form healthy eating habits, pay attention to food hygiene, and avoid overeating;

Don’t let your baby do strenuous exercise such as jumping or running right after a meal;

Deworming: If your baby has intestinal parasites, you should go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor's instructions for deworming treatment;

Exercise can enhance your baby's physique, strengthen exercise, and prevent the occurrence of various diseases.

Because the child is still in infancy, the symptoms of blue gastritis are not very obvious, so if the mother does not pay attention to observe the disease in normal times, the disease will develop quickly, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed if going to the hospital for examination. If the mother finds that the baby has nausea, vomiting, crying and restlessness in normal times, this is an early symptom of appendicitis. The editor recommends that mothers must not relax their vigilance against acute appendicitis in normal times.
