I am a 48 yr. old female in good health (with the exception of Migraines).  Three weeks ago my appendix ruptured, it was removed laproscopic.  I was in the hospital for a day after surgery.  However, I have had major pain, bloating and diarrhea since then. The doctor did say I have peritonitis.  He also said I have some type of colitis caused by the strong antibiotic (Cipro).  I am now on Acidophilus and a different antibiotic.  My bloating and diarrhea is getting better, however now I am having night sweats.  Please, any advise/thoughts would be helpful.
Hi. Thanks for elucidate history. Appendectomy done, and you start getting pain and now night sweats, and there is also a possibility of colitis, so the antibiotics is changed and added a Probiotic. I would advise you the following. Review He and WBC count-if increasing, I have a reason to re-explore. Also get liver, kidney functions to see there is no bad effect on these organs due to septicemia. Ultrasonography and / or CT scan of the abdomen to see if there is collection of pus pockets, if so and responding to the routine medical treatment, I would put you on intravenous antibiotics and iv fluids, And go for exploration to see and evacuate the pus and lavage the peritoneal cavity and put a Chat Doctor.  Daily review till you are absolutely normal. This is the treatment of peritonitis after perforation of the appendix and surgery thereupon.
