Signs And Symptoms Of Appendicitis; What You Should Know

Nausea And Vomiting

The nauseousness and vomiting associated with appendicitis will appear soon after the initial abdominal pain begins. Dr. Jennifer Caudle of the Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine claims that inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system can lead to nausea and vomiting. This symptom is not experienced by every individual who suffers appendicitis, but if there is a constant stomach pain as well as nauseousness or vomiting for more than twelve hours, see a medical professional as soon as possible. Children aged two and under will usually vomit if they have appendicitis and teenagers will experience the nauseousness and vomiting as well. Avoid any over-the-counter medications if these symptoms are present and meet with a health professional who can diagnose appendicitis correctly.
