Hi.
Appendix is an unwanted organ, it gets infected sometimes. Reasons unknown.
If is only infection then the procedure is safe and recovery will be fast
If appendix rupture, then there can be complications.
Next Steps
Nothing to worry. Relax, the child will be fine.

Is she having fever
Did they do USG abdomen
Did you do blood test
Appendix can get inflamed due to several causes
Once inflamed it should be removed
It is a simple procedure
Doctor will tell you what to do after surgery
