Why not to wait देर क्यों न करें
An inflamed appendix can burst within a day or two, which is far more dangerous than early, planned surgery. The good news: when treated in time, appendix removal is commonly done by keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery — small cuts, less pain and a quick recovery.
Please don't self-diagnose खुद इलाज न करें
Many other conditions can cause tummy pain, so do not simply assume or take painkillers to mask it. If you have the symptoms above, see a doctor promptly for a proper examination.
