[|Human|] My son had pain in his right side to the point of doubling over and he had body shakes. Went to an ER Doctor there thought it was his appendix so next came IV dye and oral dye so a scan could be done. His appendix would not filter the dyes. Surgery 12 hrs later his appendix was black and rotted it was removed and other areas checked due to an infection on his intestines close to the appendix......he is bloated to the point he can hardly breath (surgery date 11/24/13) and still hurting, he has been up walking, not able to lay on either side his white cell count is 22,000. My question is: did his appendix rupture and how long would it have taken to become black and rotted?
[|AI|]  HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern for your son I read the history given here and in my opinion the appendix must have ruptured that might have infected the intestine, so the count is high now to treat this infection he may need higher antibiotic and this will come around with this, good medical management really gives good results, have nice day and take care of your son.
