What should I do if I get appendicitis during breastfeeding?

Appendicitis is a disease that can occur at any time. It usually occurs suddenly. After the onset of the disease, the patient will have severe abdominal pain. This is a very uncomfortable disease, especially for breastfeeding women. It will be more painful because it will not only affect their own bodies, but also affect the baby's breastfeeding. It is important to pay attention to it during breastfeeding. So, what should you do if you get appendicitis during breastfeeding? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Generally speaking, if conservative treatment is to be adopted, the child should be weaned, because general medicines, such as anti-inflammatory antibiotics, can be absorbed by the mother and passed to the child through breast milk, and it is best for children not to receive antibiotics, so for the safety of the child, weaning should be done.

2. If your child is relatively young and cannot be weaned, then I suggest that you take surgical treatment, that is, remove the appendix, because surgery can ensure that appendicitis heals quickly and there is no possibility of recurrence in the future. The most important thing is that it generally does not affect breastfeeding.

3. In this case, it is best to go to a regular hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination, and then follow the doctor's advice. If surgery is confirmed, have the surgery immediately. Timely surgery will ensure that your body is on the normal track. After the operation, pay attention to the wound to prevent infection and pay attention to the hygiene of the wound.

4. Be careful not to catch cold or eat excessively. Do not do strenuous exercise after meals, maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, and don't let your heart be too burdened. Usually, be careful not to eat too much greasy food and avoid spicy food.

The above introduction is about what to do if you get appendicitis during breastfeeding. This is a serious problem and needs to be treated promptly after it occurs. You can also go to the hospital for examination and choose the treatment method based on the doctor's diagnosis. In addition, you should also pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits in normal times to prevent the occurrence of appendicitis.
