Hi, recently i experienced a full stomach pain that increased gradually. Doctor prescribed some antibiotics and suggested for ultrasound. Antibiotics helped me get rid of my pain. Then i went for ultrasound and got diagnosed with 13 mm appendicitis. Sir, please suggest whether i should go for surgery or antibiotics can help me avoid any surgery

ANTIBIOTICS can inly help in temporary relief. 13 mm is very much SIGNIFICANT size. Reccurrance is common. Complications can be life threatening.
Next Steps
appendicectomy has to be done.
