It's advisable to go ahead with laparoscopic Appendectomy as chances of perforation always remain.
This also depends upon the blood picture like TLC AND NEUTROPHILS count. If again high then it's indication for surgery.
As of now better to be on liquid diet for next 3- 5 days till pain subside fully.
