Antibiotic Follow Up
Hey all. I was diagnosed at the ER on Father’s Day with acute appendicitis. They admitted me to the hospital and gave me the option between surgery or IV/antibiotics. They said I am young enough and caught it early enough that IV/antibiotics was the recommended treatment.
The IV went well, as did the antibiotics. I finished the antibiotics on Monday of this week but am feeling some cramping near my right rib cage. I no longer feel any pain in the area they looked at when I originally went to the ER.
Is this soreness/cramping normal? Should I go back to the ER? To be clear, it’s not hindering any of my day to day activities. When I originally had it, I cried from the pain and couldn’t tolerate eating. I’ve been living a normal life and watching my diet. Is this just my insides healing? Is there something more at work? Anyone experience something similar?
Thank you!
