Through examination, blood tests and an ultrasound or CT scan. Kidney stones, gynaecological problems and stomach infections can all mimic it, so tests help avoid unnecessary surgery. #### Can antibiotics treat it without surgery? For selected, uncomplicated cases, antibiotics alone can work, but about a third of people have another attack within a few years. Surgery remains the definitive treatment and is recommended for most. #### What if the appendix bursts? A burst appendix spreads infection inside the abdomen. It's still treatable with surgery and antibiotics, but recovery takes longer, which is why it's best not to wait. #### Can I take painkillers and wait at home? Please don't wait at home if the pain is getting worse. Painkillers can hide how the illness is progressing. #### Do we need the appendix? No. Living without it has no known effect on health. #### Is appendicitis different in pregnancy? The pain may be higher up. It needs urgent assessment and can be treated safely. #### When can my child go back to school? Usually within a week after an uncomplicated keyhole operation. #### What is the cost of appendicitis treatment in Vijayawada? The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover appendicitis treatment.
