Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix (a small organ that extends from the colon or the large intestine adjacent to the caecum) gets inflamed.
Appendicitis can develop into an abscess that may rupture and cause peritonitis, which can be dangerous. It can spread the infection to the blood and other organs(sepsis) in the abdominal cavity.
Appendicitis is treated through pain killers, antibiotics, drainage of the abscess (if present), and maintain the health status of the patient through intravenous administration of fluids. If the condition is left untreated, the infection may progress to develop into an abscess.
