I have a gallstone and my appendix ruptured. My surgeon wants to treat it with strong antibiotics and after the infection is under control then go in and remove the appendix tissue and gallbladder . As of now I am on a full liquid diet . I am really tired and weak and noticed I m not thinking straight and having a hard time focusing. Should I drink ensure or something to get my protein and vitamins back?
HIF the appendix is ruptured, it has to be operated as Emergency as the pus can spread to other parts of the abdomen. If there is appendicular abscess or mass, you can go for surgery after antibiotic coverage. So, please confirm your diagnosis. If the appendix is ruptured, please go for emergency removal of appendix. You need intravenous fluids, not oral ones. Wish you good health and speedy recoveryRegards
