Appendicitis
Hi,
I had sudden severe stomach pain 2 days back. Yesterday we went to doctor. Doctor examined me and told it might be mild acute appendicitis. My blood reports are normal, I had abdominal ultrasound scan, which was also normal. Doctor gave me antibiotics for 5 days. I took two antibiotics so far but my pain is there. How many days will it take pain to cure and will antibiotics is enough to cure mild acute appendicitis??

Please show us the ultrasound report and the blood investigations. Also the exact site of pain. Because proper diagnosis is a must before suggesting the prognosis.
