Delayed surgery in acute appendicitis

2024-06-16 08:27:48
Ruptured appendix was diagnosed in CT scan. They treated me with antibiotics for a week. Surgeon advised that surgery will be done after six weeks as the situation improved.  Presently I have no pain in my stomach. What should I do at this juncture? Pls suggest.
