My 10-year-old son has appendicitis. I want to know if it is possible to treat him without surgery.

Non-operative management of uncomplicated appendicitis in children is feasible and well tolerated, with a small proportion of patients experiencing recurrent symptoms that require appendectomy within a year; outpatient management also significantly reduces the duration of hospital stay.
However, the decision on whether or not to operate your son must be taken in conjunction with a doctor.
