Appendicitis is an infection of the appendix organ. An appendix is a four-inch-long tube that connects to the big intestine and is positioned on the lower right side of the abdomen. When the appendix becomes blocked, bacteria multiplies and infects the appendix, resulting in swelling and abdominal pain.
The most prevalent symptom of appendicitis in children is acute abdominal pain. The pain usually begins at the belly button and extends to the lower right side. Appendicitis is a dangerous condition that demands immediate medical intervention. If left untreated, the child’s appendix can rupture and disseminate infection throughout the abdomen. It may prove lethal if left untreated.
