Reoccurrence Post Antibiotics

Hello! Looking for some advice - I went to the hospital on September 20th for severe stomach pain (had been up all night throwing up and pain did not subside at all) and was diagnosed with appendicitis. However, they said that my cecum was also inflamed, so they did not want to operate and sent me home with antibiotics and a plan to get it removed in 6-8 weeks.

I finished my antibiotics two days ago and while I was on a walk yesterday I started to feel some pain/discomfort on my right side, and my stomach was very bloated/ distended. I decided to wait it out and see how I felt in the morning and I’d say the symptoms are the same today. My appetite is also reduced. Has anyone who has been treated with antibiotics had such a quick reoccurrence? I can’t decide if I should wait it out and see if my symptoms get worse/subside or just go and get it checked out. Thanks!!
